Can anyone suggest a way to track my mileage fuel consumption? Pen and paper? Slick excel spreadsheet, thanks! Dave B)

I keep a pen & paper in the car then put the numbers into a spreadsheet. I track both calculated & MFD MPG. If you're filling up in NJ, you won't always get a consistent fill. That's why I track the MFD as well. I've seen successive tanks have MFD averages around 55, but get calculated as 63 and 49. Damn that self-serve!
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(DaveR_NJ @ Mar 8 2007, 03:07 PM) [snapback]402377[/snapback]</div> Greenhybrid.com Everytime you fill up with gas, you enter how much gas you filled up, and either your miles since last fillup or your overall mileage.
PDA--couple programs, I use one called "Highway"...google should help Online--GreenHybrid is the original, but rather limited data entry, Cleanmpg.com has more options for data entry and their signature image shows more data...IMO, I'd support cleanmpg.com, but that's a personal preference and I use both sites. I keep a pen and paper spreadsheet for back-up and recording each tank. I think Tony had a spreadsheet he circulated at one time and john1701a.com has one you can use as well I think.

Unfortunately I have lost one or two of those slips. I just got a PDA last week and have already started entering that information in it. I'm less likely to lose that. The added advantage is that I will be able to use Wayne Brown's Prius Palm Simulation program. I hope he gets around to officially releasing it soon. Dave M.
