Create fuel entries via the Fleetio API, including bringing in many at once

Steps
Send a POST request to /fuel_entries with Authorization and Account-Token headers to log a single fuel transaction, referencing the vehicle and including relevant details such as vendor and odometer/meter information.
List existing entries with GET /fuel_entries to verify creation or check for near-duplicates before adding more.
To bring in many fuel entries, loop individual POST /fuel_entries calls rather than assuming a dedicated bulk/import endpoint exists for this specific resource.
Pace repeated create calls to stay under your account's rate limit, and if you receive a 429 response, wait the number of seconds given in the Retry-After header before retrying.
Correct a mistaken entry with PUT or PATCH /fuel_entries/:id, or remove it with DELETE /fuel_entries/:id.
Known gotchas
Fleetio's Bulk API (single-request batch create) explicitly supports Faults, Groups, Inventory Journal Entries, Location Entries, Meter Entries, and Vehicles — Fuel Entries are not on that list, so large imports mean many individual create calls rather than one batch call.
The account-level Imports feature exposes API endpoints only to list import jobs and their row results — there is no documented endpoint to trigger a new import over the API.
Fuel entries are tied to meter/odometer readings, so check existing vehicle meter history to avoid submitting an inconsistent (e.g., decreasing) reading.
