Car Performance Log Description
Car Log is a uniquely designed, easy to use app to monitor energy efficiency and performance in personal cars. App helps to keep track of all operation and maintenance cost and generates performance indices that can be used for different economic analyses. Break-even is one such analysis where one can use it for determining different options for replacing the existing car. A car may be uneconomical to operate under higher usage rate still be economical under low usage rate and vice verse.Car Info:
