I never watch the bar anymore, though I did when I first got the car. I usually leave it on average MPG/MPH and then reset the stats every time I fill up. It's almost impossible for me to get less than 20 MPG because the stretch between home and work is mostly flat highway.

I calculate mpg at every fillup based on the trip meter and gallons pumped, but it doesn't factor into how I drive the car. I just want to see trends over time.

To track mpg? Not an android guy. Plus, it all goes into the excel spreadsheet with all of the other car data. I'm anal like that.

I'm OCD about living my life a quarter mile at a time. I eat american muscle for lunch and european luxury for dinner muthafu3kas!
Can't handle it?

No, but you go ahead and knock yourself out!

The higher the bar means your just not pressing hard enough on the throttle.

I only use the temp screen or the remaining mileage screen when I'm getting low on gas
