There are a lot of reasons to take a closer look at your gas mileage, and one of the biggest is the price of gas. Though fuel costs have gone through peaks and valleys in the last few decades, the overall trend has been up. According to GasPriceWatch, the average price of gasoline in the U.S. in 1997 and 1998 hovered around a dollar per gallon, whereas today it’s surprising when it drops below $3.00. One way to limit fuel consumption on those long commutes is to keep track of your vehicle’s mpg, and we’ve compiled a list of some smartphone and mobile mpg apps to help!

Car Minder: Calculates maintenance and detects potential problems early; easy-to-read graphs. For Apple devices.

Est MPG App: Uses U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) vehicle database to calculate mpg estimates for over 30,000 vehicles sold from 1984 to the present. For Android devices.
