AccuFuel is neat little app from Appigo for keeping track of your fuel economy. It's a simple concept with a big, bold UI and simple controls. Appigo look like they're going after a reputation for building apps that solve small problems and do it well, with this app and another app called Todo.
When you open up the app, you see a screen mostly taken up by an image of a fuel pump and details of your average mpg and the mpg from your last tank. You also see a graph of your mpg over the life of using the app.

Now, each time you fill up you bring up the app and fill in all the details; the price, the amount of fuel, and the reading from your odometer (via a nicely thought out set of rollers like an old-school bike lock). Of course doing this at the pump flies in the face of all the warnings plastered around the pumps telling you to switch off your mobile any time you're near the fuel, but I'm pretty sure everyone ignores those signs anyway :)
The app also lets you tell it about your car, and looks up your manufacturers stated figures for comparison. The developers have also thought about the market outside the US, allowing you to set the units of both the fuel and the economy figures. They've also included support for more than one car, and you can even pull your data out of the app by emailing it as a CSV document.

Summary: this was never going to be a killer iPhone app, but it's a nicely thought-out and well-executed little app that does it's job and does it well. If you've got a decent trip computer in your car, maybe you won't use this. But if, like me, your car is missing a few of those creature comforts (like back seats and a boot too in my case :) ) then this might find a place on your iPhone, and for 59p you can't really lose!

This is the only paid app I have got so far. I wanted to be able to verify my trip computer readout, which I have been able to do.
As well as the amount of fuel you filled up with, and your current mileage, the app also asks for the price per litre. This data is then available to you if you export the data, but is also available should a new release want to make use of it.
Despite my car having a trip computer, I'm happy I'm getting my 59 pence worth out of this app ;-)
