With an economic decline and a heightened environmental awareness being brought to our attention, it is no wonder that apps have begun to focus on MPG. Now, you don’t need to have a prius to know how to monitor your mileage — the apps are here to help as well! Gas Cubbry and Road Trip — two apps that are topping the ratings (and the tank!):

Gas Cubby

• $6.99

• Main features: tracks MPG as well as general vehicle maintenance and data, intuitive charts to show how much you’re spending on gas and car care, supports multiple vehicles, ability to import data from CSV files and access excel compatible e-mail reports

• Rating: 4 out of 5 stars

• Users say: they love the interface and functionality, they think it’s very useful and the best app out there to track car expenses and service reminders, but they wish that there would be more options for gas and vehicle type selection and a GPS feature would be a bonus

Road Trip

• $4.99

• Main features: intuitive interface that allows you to enter all vehicle maintenance information and data, service reminders, expense tracking, statistics that show MPG, costs, fuel economy graph, etc., ability to create trip reports, import form/export to excel and backup via e-mail, support for multiple vehicles and vehicle types, error detection

• Rating: 4 our of 5 stars

• Users say: it makes life a lot easier and is well worth the money, there is great customer support, some prefer it to Gas Cubby, it is nice that it shows you which companies give you the most MPG, interface could be polished a little
