That info can be important.  INformation with no use is "data".  I want to track mileage less to know how light my wallet is but mileage drop off can be a first indication of problems in the motor.  There are many issues with a motor that will start out reducung performance which will increase fuel use.  You can also track your success at modifying, tuning and adjusting the motor.  You can see how well or how bad things you do effect performance.

If you could use this info like this I think keeping such records is more than an exercise in math.

I was just reading your comments about how you have never tracked your mileage on the GMC, I must say I have let they go by as well it has been such a hassle.

I had a friend travel with me last time and he tried to track it.  If his math was correct I may have an idea but who knows.

I have created a spread sheet for tracking mileage on an excel program.

I am pretty good with the formulas in excel so I tend to add more as I think of it.

All you would add is the date, present mileage and cost.

If you add just the present mileage, such as on the road in travel mode, it estimates mileage driven and mileage left.

The program will tell you your MPG, estimated miles per tank, how many miles you drove and how many miles are left, estimate of fuel left in the tank.  It also gives an average of your MPG, Cost per fill and average cost.  Yeah, sometimes I think I have too much time, HA!!  Like that can happen...

It  has a provision to account for the reserve gallons or just leave it out.

Truely an experiment in playing with numbers and if you are good with the formulas, you can tweek it as well.

If anyone would be interested in this program I could email it to you and you could play with it.

It is not much less clumbsy than writing the info on paper, but it is more fun and does all the computing.

If this can be helpful to you, let me know.  I still update things and if you have any ideas to add, we could try that too.

Just a thought
