The greenMeter is a new iPhone application that computes a vehicle’s real-time fuel consumption, and displays the effects of acceleration, aerodynamic drag, and rolling resistance across the speed range, on easy-to-read graphs. The purpose is to increase a driver’s fuel economy and environmental awareness.
Before starting out, Just enter a few key points, like the price of fuel, your car’s drag co-efficient, and weather conditions, and the greenMeter will start its computations. Your car’s manual or the maker’s website is a good place to find some of the necessary data.
The greenMeter’s $5.99 price tag isn’t bad for a device that will pay for itself in no time with information designed to help anyone’s driving style become more eco-conscious. It’s available from the iTunes App Store.
