FuelLog
The app that seems to have it all, FuelLog will keep track of petrol use, the costs associated and maintenance schedules for your car. FuelLog will calculate the mileage between fill ups and shows all information in six handy graphs. The app even allows users to set reminders for car maintenance.
Car Locator
Almost everyone has come out of the shopping mall after spending hours browsing the racks and wondered "Where on Earth did I park the car?". With Car Locator, that question is no longer an issue. The app will automatically save the location of your car and then show it to you later via either a radar view with a red dot or via a map view. In addition, Car Locator works as a parking timer, takes photos and can even beam your location to another person.
