"5 Premium Apps for Car Enthusiasts\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n1. AccuFuel\n\nAs fuel prices increase around the world, consumers deserve to know their fuel economy between each visit to the pump. That's exactly what AccuFuel provides: an easy way to log a vehicle's exact fuel mileage each time it's filled up. Drivers merely log their mileage, and by the time they hit the ominous \"E\" on the dashboard, the app calculates everything they need to know.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2. RepairPal\n\n\nIf you\u2019re like most people, you might not be fluent in car repair pricing. Therefore, you risk being taken advantage of by a malicious mechanic. \nWith the help of RepairPal, you never have to worry about paying too much for a repair again. The RepairPal app tells you the fair price to pay for different repairs, for specific car models. It also allows you to track these repairs, puts you in touch with a local mechanic and ensures roadside assistance is just a click away.  It supports all models after 1990 so, odds are, your car is covered.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n3. Kanetix\n\n\nComparing car insurance quotes is the best way to find a great deal on mandated liability coverage, and the Kanetix Car Insurance app is on the case. This innovative iPhone app actually includes its own bar code scanner, making it insanely easy to scan the VIN number and model information from a car and use that information to obtain an accurate quote.\nQuotes are listed in a highly intuitive interface, with large and readable numbers and dollar figures. Those quotes are listed in order of lowest to highest, helping customers easily obtain the most affordable coverage they qualify for, no matter where they perform their shopping.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n4. Garage Buddy\n\nFrom unit calculators and converters to repair charts and assistance, Garage Buddy has it all. This innovative app can even monitor a car's mileage and determine its fuel economy, if the driver so chooses. Unique installation guides are included, and drivers can even enjoy how-to tutorials about common garage tools and replacement parts.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n5. Waze\n\n\nThe mark of a good car enthusiast is his ability to get out of a jam. If you\u2019ve ever wanted to outsmart traffic, then this app is for you. \nWaze, at its core, functions as a crowdsourced GPS navigation app. However, it is so much more than that. The GPS navigation, although not perfect, functions well enough. The real gem is Waze\u2019s ability to give you real-time, accurate information on traffic and accidents. It comes as no surprise that there are rumors about Apple\u2019s plan to acquire Waze to help resurrect its buggy Maps app.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAs a retired high school teacher, Daniel Watson now spends most of his time working in his garage fixing up classic cars. Daniel is now in his final year of graduate studies in journalism in Toronto. \nIn every country, in every generation, car enthusiasts count down the weeks and days until a new model comes along that blows every other car out of the water. They love nothing more than to drive a new model, put the pedal to the metal and impress their friends with a vast tome of car-related knowledge.\nSEE ALSO: 5 Apps To Prevent Your Teen From Texting While Driving\n\nPerhaps as an acknowledgement of this timeless enthusiasm, developers have created mobile apps designed specifically for car lovers. \nFrom fuel economy apps to those that allow for the comparison and purchase of car insurance policies, these five apps are designed to make driving easier, more enjoyable and increasingly social.\nPhoto via iStockphoto, Geber86"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
