What program do use to keep track of all of that? I write everything down myself, I have a notebook out in my car.

Wow, your highest MPG was just over 28?? Do you have stuff done to the car or something? Even with an automatic, that's pretty bad for a Neon.

Car is stock engine wise. I do mostly "city" driving, and I don't even push it that hard either.

Hmmm... when I get the neon out, I'm going to start logging mine like this.

No point with the escort. That thing leaks out gas.

Actually, I just ade up the spreadsheet in 2003, set it up how I wanted to, with all the stuff ready, and all I do is input date, miles, gallons, and price per gallon and it tracks everythign else for me :) even calculates my "possible total miles for the year" which was almost dead on this year (I guess I am predictable).
