Road Trip MPG Reviews

I put my vehicle miles and info. Also my own personal picture car. Then 2 days later everything is gone. I have to re do all again, put my tags my registration, insurance, even my reminders for service do , my tires information and how many miles on them , my fuel info to keep the track and how many miles , and next day every the it tuck me like 30 or 40 minutes to set is gone. And all that fuel trip examples the is all ready in RoadTripMPG is annoying. We want to keep track of our vehicle not the ones all ready there. This is really frustrating app DO NOT BUY. not recommended at all. I all ready contacted the developer and give me instructions how what I all ready did. And I told him that and never responded back. I’m tired on having to keep putting the info all the time. I still haven’t had the chance to calculate then miles trip on each fuel tank. Because it keeps erasing. And it was the main point why I bought it for. 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼

I bought Road Trip on October 9, 2012. Nearly 11 years ago, and I’ve entered nearly every fill-up since, across multiple cars! I realized it’s so ingrained in my habits I neglected to rate and review, sorry for the delay! I also thought maybe I’d be unique in my longevity with RoadTripMPG , but I quickly saw another review from 2009! My purchase (I found my receipt!) was of version 1.8.1, and RoadTripMPG Store only has history listed back to version 11.3 now, 7 years back!

So, RoadTripMPG is awesome. Pretty much works perfectly, calculates all the stats you might want, backs up to Dropbox silently without fuss, is easy to enter data in, has numerous flexible options to customize the availed fields for each car and tracking preferences. Just absolutely amazing. Thanks to everyone else still buying RoadTripMPG because it’s provided a lot of value for the one-time purchase 11 years ago, and still gets regular updates and bug fixes.

Major thanks to Darren for making something so solid and useful! I’m sure he doesn’t even know who I am, as I’ve never needed to contact support or interact to get everything working.

I have been using RoadTripMPG for several years to keep track of fuel economy. The best feature is how easy it is to add a fill up. I’m very efficient and don’t like wasting time so using 3D Touch and selecting add fuel takes me directly to the fill up screen. In less than 30 seconds I can input my odometer, gallons and price. The decimals even auto fill. Just amazing the attention to detail the developer went into. Reminders based on mileage is great so I don’t have to keep checking when I last did my oil change or tire rotations. The developer even responded to and addressed an unusual request. I rarely buy apps but this is one that is well worth it.

I started using the paid version years ago when I upgraded to an iPhone 5. Free before that. Now I’m on an iPhone XR and just read a 1-star review. Could not disagree more with the review.

Just added my 13 vehicle. Another motorcycle. If you own more than one RoadTripMPG is invaluable. From the reminders for oil changes, to value adjustments, and tire replacement, etc this has it all.

Only wish that that I could record miles and hours at the same time. My newest ride does service in hours, but I also want to keep MPG.

I do not even remember when I started using RoadTripMPG , but I’ve been using it for quite a while now, and I am very happy with the functionality, however, there is one thing to improve, maybe I didn’t find it or most likely it’s just not in RoadTripMPG , I do not see how you can track a plug-in hybrid… it looks like you have to stick with one fuel type for the vehicle…but plug-ins have EV mode and can be charged and at the same time the have gasoline engine and use gasoline. Don’t think you can track both within one vehicle….

With Gas Buddy, the goal is to sell you something and your personal statistics get lost in the ads, etc. Road Trip’s goal seems to be giving the driver the most complete useful information as possible. It’s better than Gas Buddy in several ways. No, it doesn’t give current gas prices, but you can keep Gas Buddy on your phone to check prices if needed. AAA also shows gas prices. I use Costco gas and it doesn’t really matter if I know the price ahead of time. It is what it is.

I suggest buying the $6.99 upgrade—don’t even bother with the lite version.

For many years, I kept my fuel usage on a spreadsheet. I was happy with it, but the template I used was limited. One spreadsheet for one car and a separate one for the other. A member of a Facebook group I belong to mentioned this program in a post and I decided to give it a try. I was so impressed with RoadTripMPG I purchased it. I can easily keep track of multiple vehicles, fuel, oil, tires, maintenance. I set up a Dropbox account and I can access the data from either my iPhone or iPad.
Fuel economy, maintenance costs, cost per mile, cost per day, fuel price, miles per week, and much more.

I highly recommend RoadTripMPG.

I’ve been using SimplyAuto for many years but it had things I didn’t like and others that were missing, so I went in search of a new app. Needed one that I could transfer all my old data to relatively easily and Road Trip didn’t disappoint. I had some issues initially with the formatting but when I got in touch with the developer via email, he responded in literally minutes and got me squared away. He even cleaned the data for me - had a few duplicates and missing items.

Can’t say enough about RoadTripMPG or the dev - highly recommended!!

I have been using RoadTripMPG for about 3 years now and love it! I drive about 50k miles a year and use RoadTripMPG for all of my fuel and maintenance logs. Simple and straight forward to use.

One feature I would love though would be the ability to add photos to notes for scanning receipts and documents. Because I drive so much, I go in for wheel alignments every 6-10k miles and would love the ability to add the printouts of the before and after into my notes to be able to reference them for later rather than holding on to the printouts. It would be a great feature to add in my opinion!

Either way, love RoadTripMPG .

This is undoubtedly the best auto app available. There are things I have never learned to use yet and I had a question once and got a very good reply. So there is support behind RoadTripMPG .
I need to learn how to merge two files of the same vehicle because I didn’t understand at first but RoadTripMPG itself is solid and extremely helpful. Especially if you enter all the data you can.
It’s amazing how much is kept track of. I have never had an issue with privacy from RoadTripMPG as well. Again. I started using this many many years ago. I absolutely love RoadTripMPG.

I started using this since 2011 and have never really reviewed products on RoadTripMPG Store. This one definitely deserves a five star review. I am sorry if it took this long. I have used this with multiple vehicles even ones that I no longer own. It is the best app to not just keep rack of gasoline purchases but other expenses on the vehicle as well. Once you sell the vehicle, buyers typically appreciate the car history and how well the car has been taken care of. Definitely, purchase RoadTripMPG. I just bought a 2023 WRX and all the upgrades and cosmetics that I have purchased for her are definitely logged.

This is simply one of those solid apps that handles key daily needs. It is well designed, well thought out, and works as expected. Brilliant! Excellent way of keeping track of gas mileage and expenditures. It does more than that, but even if all you're interested is tracking the basics, this has you covered! Includes an easy backup process via email and iCloud. I found the developer responsive to users, too. I recently upgraded devices and found the latest version of RT maintained its ease of use and upgraded the graph display! There are now separate graphs for $, mpg, $/gallon, etc. But, wisely, the developer included a two graph view, too! Years ago, he added moving averages and they are still here, too. I am usually quite tough in my reviews of apps, but this one just gets it right! Note: I have no association with the company; just a happy app user.

I have used this for years, and haven’t left a review. I’m Sorry. It works great!!! It’s always up to date, and has kept up with all my services and expenses flawlessly. It lets me know when they are due or coming up. I can tell you to the penny and exactly how many gallons of fuel, and the cost per mile or hours of service since I’ve owned them. It keeps up everything I operate. Excellent for keeping up with equipment like tractors, skid steers and everything. Even has a spot for notes like tire sizes, serial numbers and the data you need for buying parts at the counter, or anything you need to put in. Just an excellent app for sure!!!

Great app keeps track of all my vehicles to include my work trucks. Tracks fuel consumption per tank fill and overall mpg and cost to operate. Tracks services and schedule when service is due. Track all expenses/ services for vehicles and shows cost to own and operate vehicles. Easily print reports for mileage expense reports. Can track your vacation expenses if your into how much you spent on your vacations. (Why would you). Lots of different categories to choice from when tracking all expenses and holds defaults for commonly used expenses. Overall been very satisfied with RoadTripMPG and recommend it to anyone that that likes to track vehicle cost of operation.

I've been using Road Trip since 2009 and this is absolutely the very best car gas/care/maintenance app available on iOS.

By entering gas fill-up info and car service maintenance records, it will extensively track your mileage, daily/yearly expenses, total your costs and daily/per mile expenses and set reminders for maintenance based on mileage (oil change, coolant flush, tire rotation, etc). You can break out personal and business expenses, check your daily/monthly/yearly and season usage, create custom reports and then get Road Trip to give to you in easily read charts and graphs to show you usage over custom time periods.

Whether your a novice use who wants to just see what your gas mileage throughout the year or keep extensive stats across multiple vehicles and maintenance schedules, Road Trip is the best app you could ever want. As a bonus, it can sysn the records across multiple devices via Dropbox and will let you export all the data out as a CSV file so you can keep a human-readable copy on your home computer.

Get it, you won't be disappointed.

I’ve been using RoadTripMPG for years. Not sure why I never reviewed it. I have a history saved for multiple vehicles. I have never had any issues with RoadTripMPG and love it. For years I had it my phone and my wife had it on her phone. We were tracking several vehicles and using the Dropbox sync so either of us could record a purchase and both of our apps synced.

We rarely use it these days as we now have a EV as our primary and a plug-in hybrid as secondary. No third vehicle any longer as kids grew up and moved on. Anyhow, I bought gas 4 months ago and every time my dad complains about gas prices I can look up my last purchase and remind him there are alternatives.

I was using another app for a while until it stopped being supported. Found RoadTripMPG as a replacement and it has nearly every option I wanted. It’s beautifully crafted, fairly intuitive, has a bunch of graphs, reminders, and features that are well worth the investment. I stay on top of my MPG and have access to historical work so I can save time with my mechanic. It allows multiple cars, syncs automatically to iCloud, and the tabs get me to where I need to go quickly. No “subscription” nonsense and RoadTripMPG is kept up to date.

There are a few areas where I’d like to see the developer bump up the GUI and perhaps also add some explanation and/or help screens. But the core of this program is solid and it’s one of the few apps I would install if I only had a 4GB iphone. It’s a keeper.

I have been using RoadTripMPG since at least 2010. It has helped me track expenses across a number of cars past and present. There are numerous great feature that will help you understand what it is costing you to own your vehicle (if you are willing to track it). It has shown me a down downgrade in fuel economy outside of traffic patterns which lead to a tune up. Having your expenses recorded, especially when you have 4+ actively driven vehicles, can be helpful as to when the next service should be performed (oil/brakes/brake fluid/radiator fluid/etc). Amazing how fast you forget when something was installed, like wiper blades. I highly recommend RoadTripMPG and hope you will get as much out of this as I have. Thanks to the developer for keeping this relevant and useful.

Road Trip is one of the few apps I actually like and use. I don't like to remember or know much at all about my transportation appliances, but I need the info to manage and make decisions about them. Road Trip gathers and presents all that info for me apparently without sniffing my every move, weight gain, utterance, and networks of friends, families, and associates, etc.

I had an idea for RoadTripMPG . I can already see the complexity of implementing it, but figured I'd share anyway. For statistics, you provide a total cost to date summary. I would love to see an inflation adjusted total cost to date summary as well. E.g. I bought a used car in Jan 2015 for $11,500 USD, which now* has an inflation adjusted value of about $13,719 USD. in order to normalize the values before summarizing, RoadTripMPG would have to consider for each entry the purchase date, report date, currency, etc. as well as refer to consumer price indexes such as those behind the US BLS CPI Inflation Calculator.

This would give me a clear understanding of total cost of ownership in today's currency. When looking at that $3000 repair estimate on my current car vs. scrapping it and buying a replacement car, I could then compare costs in an "apples to apples" manner to support my decision.

*or as close to "now" as is possible to estimate based on available reference data, which is plenty close enough.

I have been using RoadTripMPG for several years now, and it has revolutionized the way that I maintain our vehicles. It gives me peace of mind to know that it will help me stay on top of regular maintenance. I don’t have to worry about remembering service intervals once I have entered the reminders as recommended by my vehicle manufacturers. So many features! Actual annual costs for budgeting, annual mileage for auto insurance discounts and coverage, and many more features. Well done on creating a great app!
