5 iPhone Apps to Help Save Gas
If you upgraded early and don’t have an iBrick 3G, you’re presumably cruising Apple’s new app store. And if you’re also a green geek who’s looking to save fuel, and some money on high gas prices, we found 5 applications that can help you out; they’re basically replacements for the little notebook and pencil your dad kept in the glove compartment to track his gas usage, just with a touchscreen interface.
MPGAccuFuel: Tracks mileage and spits out slick graphs and quick comparisons of performance. Hypermilers, enjoy. Made by Appigo. 99 cents. Update: Developer Appigo has renamed this app “AccuFuel.”
FuelGage: Same functionality as MPG but no graphs. Tracks multiple vehicles and trip totals, good for splitting gas costs. Made by Joseph Kueser. 99 cents
GasHog: A less slick-looking MPG. No graphs.
99 cents
CarStat: Even less powerful and less slick MPG. This one does, however, track fuel costs and multiple cars but charges you a dollar more. Made by Stephen Blessing. $1.99
WHERE: GPS and GasBuddy work together to get you gas prices from the nearest stations. Made by uLocate Communications. Free.

Don’t forget to check out other Green Apps, like Go Green Free, Green Tips, GreenMeter and our app MeterRead (Go Green, Save Green!) which allows users to easily read their electric meter and see how much kW-h will be used at the current pace. It’s great to see how much those Christmas lights will cost this year!

These are pretty cool apps I must say! Just another reason why everyone should own an iPhone. I bought mine about 6 months ago and honestly can’t live without it. Definitely these are great tools to help you save gas! We’ll be seeing gas prices go up again I’m sure….
This is great to have a such app on your iphone, but i have few free tips that can be used to cut your fuel cost for free. i was going over throught websites found few government based gas saving tips.
