# Vehicle cost

This feature allows you to monitor the expenses of one or more vehicles: fuel consumption and other costs.

## :: Create the vehicles categories

Let's imagine you have 2 vehicles:

- open the category dialog
- create a category named 'Car'
- create a subcategory named 'Dacia Sandero'
- create a subcategory named 'Renault Twingo'

Optionally you can set the default vehicle to be initialized into the vehicle-cost report window from the wallet dialog.

## :: Fill some transaction with vehiclecost data's

A vehiclecost transaction for refuel must include in its description:

- d=xxxxxx the odometer at refuel time
- v=xx.xx the fuel volume for a full refuel
- v~xx.xx the fuel volume for a partial refuel

Affect the category to all of your transactions for a vehicle, this includes refuel, maintenance, repair, insurance, or others.

Example refuel description data's:

- '(d=92458 v=45.23)'
- 'd=92458, v=45.23'
- 'd=92458 v~15.41'
