Friends: 0 |  Good dead tree MPG log? I could use a small spiral or other book, but then I'd have to make my own columns. I could print something out, but I'd like something sturdy (I suppose I could print it out on index cards) Any ideas? Brian |

Friends: 0 | I started using the MFD's Info->Calendar->Memo function to log all my fillups and mpg calculations. When I go to the gas station, I enter a new Memo on the given Calendar date and type in "x.x GAL, xxx MI, xx.x MPG" which happens to just fit the maximum memo length. I can always go back and list the memos in my calendar to see past performance. The month view on the Calendar makes it easy to find the memos since there's a mark placed in the corresponding date box. Maybe not the best way, but it's the only practical use I have for the Calendar function since it doesn't hotsync with any portable PIM products! |

Friends: 0 | That must be a Nav only thing. I'd like to log: tank # miles start, end and delta gallons MPG calculated MPG displayed Lifetime MPG calculated notes (temeperature, just got new tires, etc) Brian |

Friends: 0 | Found a collection of mileage logbooks on Froogle. The Adams Vehicle Mileage Logs look like they might be what you're looking for. |

Friends: 0 | For my last 2 cars I have been using a little notebook that the local stationery store sells as a "geology field book." The pages are 7" wide and 5" tall "graph paper" ruled on a 1/6" grid, so you can line up your columns neatly. The notebook has a hard black cover (like those on some larger notebooks that are called "composition books"), so it is very durable, and it fits nicely in a glove compartment. I have noticed that there is a certain percentage of the population that, hybrid or no hybrid, compulsively records their gasoline purchases. I also record all service work on the car, which turns out to be much more useful than the pages and pages of gasoline data. |

Friends: 0 | For me, it was easy - print one up, cut & bind it. Just a small benefit of working in a printing department.  -m. |

Friends: 0 | Actually the other company in my building (same owner) does some binding, but I'm not going to bother going through that route. Looks like Office Despot / Office Max have some. I'll take a look and see if anything looks good to me. Brian |

Friends: 0 | I really wanted one too. I went to Staples and they had some, not the best. But I made it work, it suits my needs. ~$.99 |

Friends: 0 | The ones I found at Office Despot were so close yet so far away from what I want. On the left they had a date box and a memo line on the right they had 5 columns start, stop, buisiness miles, personal miles and some other column I could relable the last 3 columns as miles, gallons and MPG but I want displayed MPG and overall MPG Suppose I could put those in the note column (Instead of date I would put tank #) Brian |
