    Tonight I will be adding gas for the first time and I think that for least a little while... I would like to keep track of gas mileage. I always have my cell phone (treo 650) with me, so I am wondering if anyone can recommend a good program for monitoring gas usage.

    I really do not want a lot of bells and whistles... I think that I would simply like to enter:

    1) Odometer
    2) Fuel added
    3) Ability to override automatic date entry

    Am I missing anything... and do you have any recommendations?

    There are some other things, but you don't have to access that stuff.

    I use TotalCar. It's freeware, and does lots of other nice things too.

    Based on your advice, I downloaded FuelCalc. It seems to do what I was looking for. Thanks a lot :)

    Here's a late, but strong vote for Palm Fuel Log:

    Fuel Log

    Seemed simpler and better than the others to me. At least worth a try before you commit.

    Now, if I could just export the data to a spreadsheet...somebody must know how to do that!

    Never mind, I just figured out how to export it as CSV data to the notepad.

    I recently switched from Kar Kare to Teal Auto. A problem I notiecd with Kar Kare is tthat the "Average" gas mileage is really the average of the gas mileages rather than total miles divided by total gas. (It is not obvious, I found it when I exported the data brought it into a spread sheet and found the overall averages were different.)
