Anyone use the "Torque" app for the android?

I'm a bit obsessed with my MPG, and i want to observe my daily average MPG without having to reset my MINI's counter. [ i want to to my my long-running Avg MPG counter, while my phone acting as daily ]

Anyway, so i reset both the car and phone counters, and Torque is giving me much higher numbers (i wish they were accurate, but i don't think they are)

My mini says 31.1 MPG, and Torque says 46+ Average MPG.

I noticed that torque requires me to set the engine size for an accurate MPG calculation, currently set at 1.6L for my mini clubman.

Anyone know how to properly setup Torque for the mini

[ if it matters, my odb2 adapater is ELM327 from amazon ]

run your daily MPG of MINI computer and keep track of tank MPG when you fill up.
Anything that's not integral part of your car will not be able to ever be accurate. Even MINI computer is innacurate sometimes.

I've just started using an Android app called "Mileage." At every fill-up you log your gallons, price and odometer reading. Calculates fuel economy, graphs, charts. Really makes the propeller on my beanie spin.
