"Even then , why even bother? It'll get whatever it gets! "
 
Thats what my friends with SUV's used to say. Now it is hysterical to watch them line up for 20 minutes to save less than 3% ($.10 per gallon) on their gas costs. Maybe if they were aware of their mileage and checked more often they would have bought more sensible vehicles.
 
MPG is also a good indicator of the cars overall health.
 
If my car did not get what I wanted I would sell it in a heartbeat.

I suppose you guys are right.
 
Once in a great while, I'll check my mileage but doing so isn't something I really care about that much. If the car isn't running up to snuff, I'll know it without having to check my mileage.
 
I know people (mostly older people) who keep a detailed log in their glove boxes. They keep track of EVERYTHING.
 
That's not me but, hey, if that makes them happy...

....Like me. Sights like this replicate what you can easily do your self with Excel etc, but there evidently are enough dinosaurs like us left that someone would maintain such a site to keep us pre-historic relics satisfied.

I guess I'm old before my time. I'm obsessive about my mileage. I have been since I started driving. I'm trying to develop better driving habits, and having trouble. Especially with $4 a gallon just over the horizon.
 
I'm turning 20 in a little over a month. I'm "old" I guess.

You and me both. I check mileage at every tank, although I don't log it. I'll be 21 in August.

My mom says I'm hyper-anal. She says it's not necessarily a bad thing, but it gets on her nerves. Once in a while I will forget to check otherwise I always at least check it with my calculator. I guess it's a tick. I first started when I had my van. That thing was a hog. 10 mpg in a good week. 7 in a bad week. It had issues.

It's nothing wrong to check MPG on every single tank of fuel.

I'm sorry I said anything.
 
Nothing is "wrong" with checking gas mileage constantly or keeping a detailed log book or an excel spreadsheet.
 
If that is important to you, go for it.
 
Me, I don't care. It's going to get whatever it gets and I have better things to do than agonize over it.
 
"Older" drivers also hate space saver spares!

I took no offense to anything you said. I agree that I'm sort of neurotic about small things once in a while. I hate space savers too as they are more of a waste of time. I'd rather have a full size spare so that I can put it on and forget it, just get the other fixed. Anyway, no offense taken.
