greenMeter
If you’ve got a lead foot and you’re looking for a little encouragement to cut down on your speed, this handy app might do the trick. It works on the same principle as the information system in most hybrids, turning boosting fuel economy into something of a game (it’s not a game app, though). It’s for iPhone only, and it does come at a cost, but it can help you boost your fuel economy by a significant percentage by providing you with information about current, minimum and maximum MPG, engine power and a great deal more.
Car Minder
Don’t trust automated maintenance reminders? Maybe your mechanic usually forgets to reset your “change oil” light. If either of those sounds like you, then Car Minder might be a great option. It’s a handy app for iOS devices ($2.99) that lets you manually log a ton of information about your driving, maintenance and other issues. You can access all the information you need at a glance, and you can also manage more than one car at a time. Whether you’re a fleet manager or a parent with multiple vehicles to handle, this app can be a real lifesaver.
RepairPal
On the surface, RepairPal seems a lot like Car Minder, but there are some important differences here. RepairPal does let you track your maintenance and other information, but it also provides you with information about repair costs, helps you locate shops near your location (handy if you’re out of town and an emergency strikes), and more. It’s also available for both iOS and Android, and the app is free (it only works in the US, though).
