I think it's BS


The kicker is that you don't even have to plug in your iPhone anywhere, just set it in the cup holder and drive.

guys on the BMW forum are loving that app. Numbers look good. Vehicle weight is only used to fudge a whp number.

You would think that if it worked via GPS-type technology it would be fairly accurate.

But if it uses the accelerometer inside the iphone, I think the limitation would be in the accuracy of that technology.

On a side note, you could probably manipulate the output data by moving/pushing the iphone in your cup holder as you drove.

Just speculating here. I don't have any experience with it.
