Pay less per litre. Burn fewer of them per kilometre. See exactly what you spent.
Sparkilo is a free, open-source app for cutting the running cost of your car — and you don't even need an account to use it. It works on three fronts:
- Pay less at the pump — live fuel-price comparison across 17 countries, EV charging too, route-aware "best stops" planning, drop alerts, and a 30-day price history.
- Burn less behind the wheel — record trips with just your phone's GPS (no hardware needed) or plug in any ELM327-compatible OBD-II adapter for live coaching, per-trip scores, and the moments that wasted fuel.
- See what you actually spent — a fill-up log (type it, scan the pump display, or scan the receipt), consumption and cost stats, a full trip logbook, and a Carbon dashboard for cost and CO₂.
No ads. No tracking. No Google Play Services. No Firebase. No sign-up. Your data stays on your phone unless you explicitly turn on cloud sync.

Prices are fetched from the official government open-data source of each country. Germany requires a free API key (from tankerkoenig.de); the others work out of the box.
The app is also translated into 23 languages — bg, cs, da, de, el, en, es, et, fi, fr, hr, hu, it, lt, lv, nb, nl, pl, pt, ro, sk, sl, sv — and picks the right one automatically from your system locale.
- Install the app from the Play Store or a direct APK — no account, no email.
- Accept the privacy consent (shown on first launch).
- Pick your country (auto-detected from your phone's language).
- Enter the free key for Germany if that's your country (every other country just works).
- Tap the big Search button in the middle of the bottom bar to find the cheapest station near you.
- (Optional, but where the savings really compound) — switch to Medium or Full in Settings → Use mode and start logging fill-ups and recording trips. You only need an OBD2 adapter on Full; Medium records trips with just your phone's GPS.
