My father keeps a pocket calculator in the glove compartment to calculate what his mileage was between fillups. Having one built-in would certainly be useful for people like him.
- unwind 16y agoNot sure if you're being humoristic, but any car advanced enough to have this IQon technology most probably also has a regular basic in-car computer, and those tend to track mileage by default. You don't even have to key in the numbers.
- kylec 16y agoNot being funny - he actually has a Prius which does give MPG readings, but he finds that it's not that accurate. Just because a car has a fancy in-dash computer doesn't mean that it's any good at keeping track of its own fuel consumption.
- timthorn 16y agoBut with access to the CAN bus, you can write an app to calculate milage automatically. You can analyse mileage for a cold engine, between fillups (remember you have access to the fuel gague), by road (GPS tracks) - some pretty interesting options.
