Broken or unreliable fuel gauges are a common headache, especially on older vehicles — without one, you’re left guessing, running out of gas, or filling up constantly out of anxiety. Fuel Gauge App solves this by tracking your real fuel level and actual MPG using simple odometer readings and fill-up logs, giving you a dashboard-style gauge on your phone that reflects what’s really in the tank. No math, no guessing.

Real Dashboard-Style Gauge — A visual semicircular gauge with a needle, just like the one in your car, complete with a red zone marking the danger threshold from Empty to 1/8 tank.
EPA-Powered Setup Wizard — Enter your vehicle’s year, make, and model, and the app pulls tank size and combined MPG straight from the EPA database via fueleconomy.gov — automatically age-adjusted for older vehicles so your starting estimate is realistic from day one.
Smart MPG Calibration — Every fill-up refines your actual MPG using a rolling average of your last 5 tanks, complete with a trend arrow showing whether your mileage is improving, declining, or holding steady.
Low Fuel Alerts & Nearest Station — When your tank drops to 1/8 or below, a warning banner and a one-tap “Nearest Station” button appear, linking straight to Google Maps so you’re never caught stranded.
Oil Change Tracking — Set your own oil change interval and next-due odometer reading per vehicle in Settings, plus how many miles of advance warning you want. A dashboard banner appears automatically once you’re within that range — showing miles remaining, then flipping to an overdue alert if you pass it.
Odometer Sanity Check — If your mileage implies you drove farther than your fuel could’ve taken you, the app flags it automatically and prompts you to log a missed fill-up — no manual math, no corrupted MPG averages.
Who It’s For: Drivers with a broken, flaky, or unreliable fuel gauge — especially on older vehicles — who want a dependable, low-effort way to know exactly how much gas is left and how far it’ll take them, without constant guesswork or unnecessary fill-ups.
