Wanted: Android App to show real time consumption data

[AndrewS]

Hi, I'm looking for an app which shows a realtime display of the actual consumption/use of energy while driving, like an old fashioned 'economy gauge' . I've tried Car Scanner (the free version) but it doesn't seem to do what I'm looking for. I've got an ODB bluetooth adapter, so it's just an app I'm looking for. The "EV Watchdog" app looks like exactly what I'm looking for - except it only reads Kia codes.

My reason for looking for such an app is because I'm competing an event where the actual economy of my driving will be measured. It's an FIA event and they plug their own adapter into the ODB port to measure the car. I'm looking for something I can use to train myself to drive economically before the event.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions

Can you find out what they use?

Doesn't the 'percentage power' gauge at the bottom right of the main screen indicate this?

100% represents the full power of the motor (125kw in my case, might be 150 for you)

Is it that you need it to be recorded?

I need something more accurate than that. It's a Regularity Rally where we are timed to the second over a predetermined route (stage), all while driving at a predetermined speed. So perhaps the stage is 25km and the speed is 28.5km/h. To avoid penalties you have to drive the full 25km at t28.5km/h, and the route/stage can include numerous junctions. The FIA monitors (and applies penalties!!) how economically the car has been driven over that stage. It's more challenging than it sounds.

I'm told they've written their own stuff. But, yes, I will check and ask for more info from them. This will be the first time I've competed in such an event.
