Hi,
At this point with our coach, not only do I not collect gas receipts I
rarely look at the number of gallons, just the sound as the tank fills. If I
looked the cost of gas per mile I might buy a sidecar for one of my dual
sport bikes and stay in motels. It's just about a tradeoff.
Second thing, when I look at the cost of a good towd, maintenance on it,
insurance and the extra gas to pull it. I'm thinking that on any future long
desination trips 1000 miles+ I'm going to rent from Enterprise. They are
everywhere and pretty darn good prices. I'll throw my Yamaha TW200 on the
rack for emergencies.
Or maybe one of Jim B's sidehacks on a small trailer. Jim, are you still in
the bike business!!!!
I still have a Howell FI system from the last group buy sitting right here
in my office. The cat sleeps on top of the box.
Thanks

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
LarC ( Always interested in numbers and would like to see the GMC numbers
much higher - HAH! )
