The up-graded Mileage Tracker can help diminish pollution

Audi's Mileage Tracker app supposedly allows businesspeople to calculate exactly how much fuel they burn during their working trips.

Apparently, the same app might soon inform drivers with respect to how much gas emissions they release into the atmosphere while traveling from here to there and taking care of the issues on everyday's agenda.

Available for iPhone, this app uses GPS to calculate exactly how much fuel is burnt during business travels, bumps in the road and detours included.

In other words, its final calculations couldn't be more accurate, as they rely on real-life experiences and not on hear-say or car manuals.

Naturally, this version of the Mileage Tracker is rather unlikely to make green-heads worldwide turn an all attentive eye to this company's most recent innovations in terms of customer-oriented policies.

However, once Audi announced that this particular app might also be used to calculate the amounts of gas emissions released into the atmosphere during one such business trip, countless environmentalists suddenly took a lively interest in this new technology. Businesses Green reports that, as Audi representatives claim, the company is presently working on developing ways to track down and record carbon emissions occuring when a car finds itself racing up and down highways.

Should the carbon calculator be added to this newly released software initially meant for figuring out mileage expenses as efficiently as possible, odds are that this idea will prove to be considerably beneficial for the well-being of our environment and even for public health.

As the same source informs us, a spokesman for Audi explained how this new technology is presently undergoing intensive research, but that most of the company's customers are indeed interested in seeing what this up-graded green app is all about.

It is expected that the research and developing phase will be over by the end of this year.
