    Historic and current fuel costs

    With the recent rises in fuel prices people are asking "How much do I spend on petrol now compared to a year ago?" Now you can find out. Here is an example for a Honda Legend 2006. Under the odometer history section we show the estimated daily, weekly, monthly and yearly fuel bill based on the latest mileage of the car.Don't forget to come back every week to update yourself on the latest figures as these prices just keep going up and up. The fuel prices are updated every week to give you the most realistic picture.Unfortunately we are only able to provide this information for vehicles built after 2000.

    500,000+ pages and 11th favourite auto website in New Zealand in just one month

    We are so excited. In May, carfax.co.nz made it into the top 100 auto websites used by Kiwis according to hitwise report for the month of May, 2008. And we made it in quite a fashion shooting up to #11. Thank you guys for having such a support and spreading the word around.

    Wow - this wasn't meant to be happening just yet!

    Someone, somewhere out there, learned about carfax and before we knew what was happening the server was overloaded and the site was down. We went from a few friends and family testing for us to serving up one page view every second at peak times. Our little server was unable to cope and needed to be restarted every ten to fifteen minutes. Fortunately for me Anton was on system admin duty and had the job of keeping the server up and running all Monday night.
