OBD2 trip computer app
Discussion
I recently purchased a little bluetooth obd2 scanner (torque elm) to check the engine warning light.
I downloaded a few different apps and realised that you can get parameters like mpg and fuel percentage etc. My girlfriend's car doesnt have a trip computer and doesnt display the range and only has a digital guage (with like 5 or 6 bars) which isnt the most useful.
Im just wondering if anyone has found an obd2 android app that can display the range for you.
Surely if you input the total capacity of the tank
(easy enough to find online) divide that by the remaining fuel percentage (remaining fuel in gallons) then multiply by the average MPG it should give you a decent estimate of the range? All these parameters are available on most apps yet I cant find one that displays the range.
