Description

With ever increasing gas prices people are looking for ways to lower their fuel intake. One overlooked method is driving habits. Keeping a steady speed and accelerating over longer distances improve mpg. Fuel Tracker keeps track of your position through gps and also keeps track of your driving habits with the accelerometer. Fuel Tracker then uses an equation to compute gas mileage.

Motivation

The motivation of this app was to make something new. Other apps on the market just have the user type in mileage and gives the user a gas mileage. Fuel Tracker adds in an element that those don't have and that is automation. Another motivation behind this app was to create a great tool for students who needed to budget and watch how much gas they were spending. Fuel Tracker can also be used in a commercial enviroment for companys that want to improve on drivers fuel efficiency
