It is important to note that the data displayed inside the app mostly refers to the fuel economy, so it is expressed in miles per gallon or kilometers per liter, unlike the actual fuel consumption many are used to get from this kind of tools.

Effortless data entry and management

When it comes to adding fresh entries to the Mileage Genie database, things are pretty straightforward and there are several mandatory fields, as well as some optional data you can add to each record.
