    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'm a geek too. Expenses only $0.25/km or $15.37/day. Av economy since new 5.87L/100km. And lots of other useless information...

    Why bother????? I ride from reserve to reserve on my tank. I have clocked it twice and get 250K's /tank. with the price of gas going up and up it just seems like a futile exercize. What you get today will be different tomorrow and even more so next week. I don't want to know what it costs to have a shit load of fun just as long as I have fun. Life is to short to analyze it to the inth degree.

    At the pump I enter the date, mileage, and fill-up info into a spreadsheet on my phone, and then transfer the info to a real spreadsheet at a later date.

    What, you don't have a spreadsheet on your phone?

    Accountants give you a whole lot of information you don't actually need too.

    Yep, must admit I never use that function.

    Interesting looking at the top speed recorded though

    Yeah. Slow bike on average though. Must be owned by an Aucklander. Bloody traffic.
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    An analogue speedometer does that - and all you have to do is, like, look at it.
