iPhone app for Gas Milage

I've searched the forum with no luck.

Don't have an OBC on my 01 S and wondering if anyone could recommend a good app for iphone?

My Dashcommand app does that. It's the OBDII reader one. For iPhone you must use the wifi reader.

Thanks Timco, I don't mind an app that requires me to manually input when I fuel up. something simple to use.

I use Gas Cubby. It was free, you get to manually enter figures, then it spits out data.

Out of curiousity, what good is this information? Are you going to drive less? Slower? More conservatively?

Or is it more a test of what gas works better?

I have an app for that. It's called a calculator. I divide miles traveled (from the odometer) by gallons added to the tank (from the gas pump). It spits out MPG !

My app

is my debit card, I fill it up whenever it gets to 1/4 tank (I have been told that the gas actually helps to cool the electric fuel pump and try to keep it at 1/4 or higher)...gas mileage sucks....but you have to feed those ponies....and TG it is not a prius
