MPG and maintenance app

So I've had this Road Trip app to basically track expense and MPG. The good, it works very well. The bad, my average is 8.64mpgs. But I'm a lot of short trips, hauling a dump trailer around, and lots of startup idling to get the truck cool for kiddos. Good thing I have my Taurus for commuting. I love this truck when not loaded, it's real peppy.

Another vote for Gas Cubby. I can add maintenance categories, modify maintenance schedules, export all the data and when I turn the phone onto its side, the screen changes into charts for quick reference. Very cool app

I think I almost did gas cubby but decided on this one. They all give reports, just in different ways.

This one allows me track specific time frames and set up "Road Trips". I can see how many miles, fuel, expense, etc occur every quarter, week, month, trip, or whatever. Real time or later if I want.

That one sounds like it can do a little more than gas cubby. I don't go on many far road trips but it would be great for Adding expense up for campin trips
