Manchester based iPhone developer Camiloo has introduced Fuel Calculator Pro for iPhone and iPod touch.
Fuel Calculator Pro allows users to work out the cost to fuel a car for a given journey length.
Users simply input the miles per gallon (MPG), price of fuel (pence per litre) and the journey length (in miles).
Fuel Calculator Pro will then recalculate the fuel cost automatically when you update any of the values. Users can discover how varying the fuel price - or MPG or journey length - determines the cost of the journey.
According to Camiloo Fuel Calculator Pro also offers the following:
Trip History Log
You can save each trip you calculate the fuel cost for in a history log. This allows you to remember the cost of all of your trips. You can create a full journey based on a number of legs and sum the total fuel cost for the whole trip. Select and deselect individual trips for a customised total trip cost. Tap the email button to send your trip history log by email easily.
Massive Car Database
The car database of Fuel Calc Pro is more than 7 times larger than the Lite version, with details of 31000+ cars. This extra car data allows users to find MPG data for any car released in the UK from year 2000 to the present day.
You can find not just Urban, Extra Urban, and Combined MPG values, but many more details too the company notes. The data includes - the full make and model name of the car, the transmission type, engine capacity, fuel type, CO2 emissions, noise level, CO emissions, HC emissions, NOx emissions, particulates, Euro standard, and the typical fuel cost for a year (12000 miles).
You can look up a car in the database, or select a car to then be used in a fuel cost calculation. You have unrestricted access to this massive database with Fuel Calc Pro. Note that you need 3G or WiFi access to view the car database.
Odometer and Speedometer
Another addition is the Odometer and Speedometer function. Set the switch on, and the GPS in your device will automatically track your mileage and current speed. This is ideal if you want to measure accurately the length of your trip, or simply see as you go how much you are actually spending on fuel insists Camiloo. The distance given by the odometer along with your chosen MPG and fuel cost is used to update the trip cost on the move. Rotate to landscape to view the speedometer. This updates every second for real-time feedback.
Available from the Apple iTunes App Store, Fuel Calculator Pro costs 1.19 and requires the iPhone 3.1.2 Software Update or later.
Camiloo made the headlines last month when they developed an iPhone application, which would have allowed users to browse all BBC iPlayer RSS feeds from a simple user interface, with the ability to search, watch and even download TV shows.
Unfortunately the BBC objected to the Rewat.ch and issued a cease and desist order to prevent the application being officially released.
