MPG app recommendation

[JustDandee]

Seeking recommendations on MPG tracking App. But also have a side question. What do you look for to confirm/ feel comfortable that the app is only tracking what it needs from you on a personal privacy level to do its task. I like free but don’t mind paying for something so I can ditch the ads and not have my personal data marketed. I also not thinking this needs to be subscription level service. If that make sense.

Like to find a app that stores history and allows me add in other vehicle maintenance like tire rotation, oil changes and multiple cars. Apple platform needed.

This is not a troll post. There's absolutely no need for an app to track what you want to track. Keep this in the glove box / toolbox for MPG and use the notes section in the back of the owners manual for oil changes / tire rotations.

Take it one step further and input your MPG data into Excel if you want full customization of how the data is visualized.

Fuelly

Microsoft 365 and Excel on your phone.

I've been using Fuelly for years. Great App. Also nice feature is taking a picture of every single receipt ever. If you ever get bad gas, you need that proof.

GIves you plenty of stats too which is nice. Sure if you are a BOOMER you can totally write your logs on paper and hand calculate and then setup an excel spreadsheet.

But it's 2025.

You're missing the point. Its ALL about the PHOOOOOONNE!! Phoners are gonna phone, they have to justify the outrageous costs of the thing and use it for everything whether it makes sense to do so or not (usually not).

I fell victim to that scam years ago. I love my high-tech.

I tracked with Fuelly for a while and then determined I didn't care anymore so I stopped.

You must be a glutton for punishment. I don't want a reminder of the money I've thrown away on gas.

Ok renter.

Permission to use this on a daily basis.

Granted!

These people can't afford a house, they're too busy paying for PHOOOOOONNEs and over-technologied cars!

 

[OffroadTreks]

Ok renter.

This is so ironic to me.

 

[User4574]

Can't say if it is on Apple but Fuelio is what I have used for years.

Amen brother! (though I must admit, as a boomer, I used a note pad )

Alright this turned out a little more humorous than expected. Looking at going old school…. Just hope I don’t hold up the line at the fuel island too long.

It's a Jeep .... .who freaking cares!!!!!! I sure as the devil didn't buy mine for fuel mileage. I can promise you that!!!!!

And pencil and paper is all have ever calculated any mileage on, and im still a young pup at 62.

I manually calculate the mileage at each fill up. If it’s not in the nominal range of 14-16 then I know something’s amiss; if it’s in range, then I continue with life and don’t give it another thought.

If they just have to use the phone, they can take a pic of the milage and pull it back up at the next fill up. I been doing that since I owned my 85 CJ-7. I haven't fixed fuel gauge yet. Then I can update my Excell spreadsheet at 3; 00 am when I wake up and cannot work on anything until daylight.
