    Jut got my Prius and would like input from you guys about how you record your gas usage? Any apps you recommend, or do you do it by hand?

    I use an IPhone app called VEHICAL. It can be used for multiple vehicles and data can be uploaded to spreadsheet.

    For the record....Go UTES!

    Fuelly rocks - I use that primarily and highly recommend it. I also save each and every gas receipt. On the back side, I write the mileage traveled for that tank and what the MFD said the mpg average was. That way if heaven forbid something should ever happen to fuelly, Ive got my back up! :D
