2009 gasoline purchases and mileage

[hillclimber]

Been tracking my gasoline use for 2009. Thought I'd share, for no particular reason. In short, 10,290 miles driven, 420.6 gallons of gas used, 24.5 mpg and $1,055 spent on gasoline.

Hmm, just realized she'll turn 100K this year, cool.

Happy New Year.

With a spreadsheet or websites like Fuelly it's pretty easy.

Exactly. Once the spreadsheet is set up, all you have to do is remember to get a receipt every time you fill up and write down your odometer reading when you get in the car. I keep a pen in the console specifically for this reason. I've been doing this for about three years now and it's second nature to me.

Hmm, twice the miles I drove for the same amount of fuel. Nice.

I'll have to add a cost per mile figure to my spreadsheet, I'm guessing it will be about twice as high as yours.

In fact... (grabs calculator).. 9.74 cents per mile for fuel in 2009. I can live with that.

I never keep track of mileage because I don't like to dwell on the past....

This reminds me of the old Volkswagon TV ads that proclaimed:
"Two pennies per mile! Two pennies per mile!"
I think this was fuel, oil , and car costs over a long term.

From worst to best: [below 0 F to Summer weather] I get 26 to just over 40 MPG. If I had to say an average, it would be 32.
