Recording Fuel usage

Hi, does anyone have or know of a decent excel spreadsheet that I am able to record my fuel usage(total costs, mpg etc) ?

Thanks

    Yes an excel spreaheet would do fine.

    Why look for one, just create one for your own needs. You know what you want to record.

    I've got one that I've used for years (and tweaked over time). It is very easy - below is a basic version:

    A1 = Date
    B1 - Miles
    C1 - Litres
    D1 - Gallons
    E1 - MPG

    A2 - Enter date of fill up
    B2 - Enter miles travelled since last fill up
    C2 - Enter litres of this fill up
    D2 - =IF(C2>0,C2/4.54609,"")
    E2 - =IF(C2>0,B2/D2,"")

    Repeat above for rows 3, 4, 5 etc. at each fill up.

    If Excel is too hard why not try one of the fuel apps or online like Fuelly or FuelLog/Fuelio
    Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.

    I built a website to track this type of thing as well as other costs, repairs, servicing etc. It includes a reminder for MOT, Insurance, Tax etc, if anyone wants to try it out (it's free) just PM me.

    Have ended up using this website and downloading the 'acar' app that syncs with it.

    Thanks for your help:beer:

    I used to use a pencil and paper. And a calculator. It was a lot easier to write things down just after I'd filled up.
    If it sticks, force it.
    If it breaks, well it wasn't working right anyway.
