A few days ago, 3 dudes launched FuelFrog.com, a cool site for tracking your fuel consumption. It uses twitter, which is cool, because I was doing the same thing, only stupider. I would post "G:" (like G:52.29) and then the dollar amount I had spent at the pump, up to twitter, and then pulled it into a spreadsheet via my rss feed. These guys go one better and take the milage and price you paid per gallon into account as well. For their app, you tweet " @fuelfrog 225 3.76 12.987 " and it tracks it for you in a cool little graph. Way better than mine.
 The problem was that I didn't want to have to remember the order that the numbers went in, and texting that whole line was a pain. Enter Lilly Pad, my sweet 6 lines of code windows smartphone app that handles the chore of formatting your Fuel Frog posts. Full source and install are available below. Obviously no waranties extended, it runs fine on my WM6 SmartPhone, and I spent 20 minutes throwing it together. No whining if it ain't pretty, ok. Enjoy.
