You should see this spreadsheet... I dont remember exactly what fields I have on it because I haven't put an entry in for a while cuz I'm not driving too much, but from what I remember I have the following fields:

- Date
- Gallons
- Price per gallon
- Total price
- Mileage at fillup
- Average mpg for fillup
- Average of all average mpgs in the sheet

Actually I would love to have a Prius for a daily driver... but I can barely afford this car at the moment

I enjoy the looks I get on peoples' faces when I tell them that I get mileage in the high 20s... "you get better mileage than my Accord!!"

Almost as good as when you tell them it's 4cyl 2L

Seriously though, that shows you have great self-control... I'll be happily averaging around 30, then on a nice day I can't hold it back anymore and let go... back to 25-26 it is

Yeah, I have that too - a little notebook with the first 5 things you listed. Maybe it's time to post a poll about whether you keep track of that or not
