In our modern day to day life, we all rack up miles/kilometres like it’s nobody’s business. Keeping track of your fuel consumption and maintenance can be cumbersome especially if you have multiple vehicles in your garage or if you’re a business owner with a vast fleet of vehicles.
And if you’re one of those people who don’t keep track you might want to reconsider as keeping track of your fuel expenses can make you a more conscious driver, especially if you have a heavy right foot (or wrist for that matter) and save some coin while you’re at it too.
I used to note down my ODO reading and calculate it with my bills to get an idea of how much fuel my vehicles are consuming. But once I started using a fuel log app things changed drastically. I was able to track my fuel usage across various refill cycles over a longer duration of time.
Long story short, I was able to cut-short my fuel consumption budget by 20 percent. Became safer and not to mention a greener driver, and also realised that some fuel stations offer better quality than others.
So, today I give you five fuel log applications for Android that you can use to keep track of your fuel expenses.
