I posted a while back that my car provided me monthly metrics, but that they weren’t quite enough for what I really wanted out of car metrics. To try to get at what I was really interested in, I picked up an OBD-II scanner and grabbed the Torque app for my phone. With this combination, I was able to get very detailed csv exports of all kinds of cool information. With that I decided to put together my own metrics of my driving habits over the last couple of months.
As I’m getting used to my vehicle, I was pretty excited about owning it for a full month, and getting my first metrics e-mail. As you all probably know, I’m something of a data geek – I love my spreadsheets and I like good data collected and organized well. That’s why I was super excited about the possibility of getting a monthly report from my vehicle with usage metrics.
