What app to track fuel mpg?

What app do you use to track your fuel mpg? I'm looking for one that doesn't upload your data to a server or try to sell your data to make money or flooded with ads. Can't find a good one with those features. I'm willing to pay for a good one. What have you?

 

Lots of people use Fuelly.
I see it in some of the members signatures here.
Maybe look in to that one?

 

Fuelly isn't what it used to be. They need excessive permissions that allow them to access your location, all your data, contacts list, etc and they store all sorts of data to their servers and share it with their "friends" for marketing purposes. So I'm avoiding it.

 

I use a calculator and my odometer.

 

Oh, Ok.
I haven’t used it.
Honestly don’t really want to know exactly what my mpg is all the time.
I get reminded each time I fill up, I’m not driving a Prius.
And NO, I don’t dislike Prius. I’d drive one. But can’t afford 2 cars.
I use my truck a lot. So I’ll keep it.

 

If you have an android see what's on f-droid. A quick look makes me think this might meet your criteria, https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.evancharlton.mileage/ no idea how good it is though. But, f-droid is open source and more transparent about things like what data is sent/collected etc, which is generally very little to none on f-droid for business type apps.

 

Yep!! That's what I do too. Then l use a pen and paper and write it down. That's my old school 'Fuel Tracker' .

 

1- note pad. 1- calculator. Miles on trip meter divided by gallons on receipt. There ya have it.

 

Yea I've been doing that for years, but I need a digital way of keeping track where I can upload to various devices and never lose it. I use to write it down, then get home and put it in a spreadsheet and sometimes I will lose that piece of paper I wrote it on or won't have a pen at the time, etc.

 

The default notes app

 

Just curious. Why are so many guys on here obsessed with gas mileage?

 

Save an excel sheet to your home page on your phone and use that. If you use a google sheets its accessible from anywhere.

I may be speaking to the choir but i use excel sheets for everything. Once you figure out how to input formulas they're incredibly useful.

 

That's me, when mine gets empty I fill it up. I'm gonna drive it regardless of what the MPG's are

 

Haven't thought about an excel sheet to my homepage, I'll give that a shot. Thanks.

 

Why are so many guys obsessed with black wheels and lifted rides? To each their own I guess.

 

not sure but after seeing the first few averages I got, I decided I didn't want to see it anymore. It's just going to get worse the more I build this thing anyways. lol

 

Just have fuelly's webpage linked to your homescreen, then you can put your tinfoil hat back on as if every other app on your phone doesn't do the same thing

 

Does Fuelly work if you have larger tires and the speedo is off?
Do I have need to have GPS turned on all the time?
Other than the personal information that Fuelly leaks is there any other drawbacks?

 

Because bad MPG can be the first sign something is wrong with your truck. I want to stay ahead of any issues.
