How do you track your mileage??

[riffer]

I'm a total geek. I write the mileage on each receipt, and enter the info into an Excel Spreadsheet.

Three different sheets - Petrol, Insurances and Consumables. And one sheet called Summary which calculates the Total Running Costs.

Which, incidentally, if you don't count the purchase price (as I paid cash for the bike) and not counting for depreciation, is $0.23/km.

I may try doing that for a bit

i do mine sorta simlar

mine is just one big sheet. first part is just fuel costs, then 6 other sections
Tires, hot up parts, maintenance, dress up parts. with all having notes at the mileage installed, and the cost.

[vifferman]

I don't.
I have no idea how many miles I get out of a set of tyres or a chain, or mileage between oil changes, that sort of thing. I usually reset tripmeter A when I fill up, but don't note the mileage - it's just a habit thing. Mebbe I should find out how many mpg or litres/100km or $/metre I get, but it's kinda academic.
And maybe scary.

I do something similar. 3 pages,
1] Petrol
2]Oil, general maintenance,
3]Cost not related to this particular bike, eg riding gear, accessories that will pass from bike to bike etc.

I have set it up to display, mpg, km/l, and l/100km. It automatically updates whenever I add new data.
As I have a fuel card I have the option of entering the mileage on the docket.
For times when I cannot do this, I have printed out small forms that I can fill in at the pump. I stapled these together so they don't go missing.
Worked fine on my S.I. trip.

Bike i dont care. Cage i dont want to know although ever now and then i do notice it is hardly ever under 16.5L per 100ks.

[Big Dave]

I don't track my mpg. Never have - I just don't care.

[Mikkel]

I just dial back the Odo when I want to sell my bike... The less evidence the better

[p/t]

I just reset my trip everytime I fill her up - approximately 200 km later I'll tootle back for a refill.

[Nasty]

Wow .. Grub is not too much of a geek ... he does what the others do in excel and keeps all costs etc ... I saw this as total geekdom .. until today ... Grub is like many others just anal!

[P38]

Garmin Zumo 550 does it all for me, just reset the fuel gauge at every fill and jobs done

[glice]

I just take note in my head and know my averages

[Renegade]

if you have your phone just email it to youself

[FJRider]

Buy a hand held GPS unit. It keeps record of MILES traveled, number of stops, average speed, maximum speed.(dont show the missus unless she thinks its in KM/H)
