How do you track your mileage??

I am currently just recording my odometer reading on the petrol receipts but was thinking there must be a better way as I'm not the most organised person so there is a good chance I’ll loose some of these receipts before I get back to my computer to record it all...

I was thinking there must be some sort of java application that I could put on my nokia phone that would make it easy for me to record.... It is unusual for me not to have my phone so this would be ideal.... even better if it could sync up with my pc via bluetooth.

Has anyone used a java application on their phone to do this task? or are there better options?

i only lost one in the 3 weeks i was away, around SI.

and in 45,000kms have lost 2 total.

On a trip I normally just record the k's as a note, but you could give this a try too,

Trip A + Trip B + Odometer

Usually reset A on a new Tank, and use B for recording Trip.

Geez Dave. Why not go the whole hog and get one of these

[McDuck]

why the hell would you do that? Hell keep a record of when your next servace is due and just ride?

[Strang0r]

Heh... That would be nice... I'd love some fancy gadget to do it all for me but at this stage it looks like keeping a pen in my jacket pocket or under the seat seems to be the way to go....

I just liked the idea of using my phone, it already has a GPS in it so I can track average speed etc.... but the notepad feature is a bit clumsy for recording everything...

[fergie]

I reset the odometer thingy every time i fill up then promptly forget to do anything about it then promise myself that next time i fill up i will reset it and take note then promptly forget to do anything about it then promise myself that next........................get the drift?

Seriously though, you only need to monitor your mileage a few times to get a feel for the average consumption. You can easily do that with pen and paper. Once you know how many k's you'll reliably get off a tank you simply ride off the trip meter.
except when you forget to reset it, doh!

so true

I use the trip metre between tanks. Oh and when I clocked over from 39,999 to 40,000km, that caught my attention.
