vcare. brings fuel economy, spending, and vehicle maintenance together in a focused iPhone app. LOG EVERY FILL-UP Enter the amount paid, price per liter, and the total reading shown on the odometer. vcare. automatically calculates the distance from the previous reading, liters purchased, cost per kilometer, and average fuel economy in km/L. FULL AND PARTIAL FILL-UPS Only added a small amount of fuel? Mark it as a partial fill-up. Cost, liters, and distance count immediately, while fuel economy is clearly shown as an estimate.

COSTS AND MAINTENANCE Record maintenance, modifications, insurance, tax, cleaning, and other costs with a date, amount, and notes. The logbook keeps fuel and expenses in chronological order.
