MPG trackers

[acrbill]

What types of programs are you guys using to track your mileage? I just downloaded one but it seems sort of wordy. I'd like to see something with a bar graph or something.

you can always use microsoft excel, I will make a file up for you if you would like

You can use mine if you want, just poke around and you'll see easily how it's layed out. http://www.superjens.com/cars/yaris-stats/stats.xls

I noticed you got 27.5 mpg on one tank.

Was that inner city commuting? That's one of the lowest figures I've seen on the Yaris so far.

I never even thought of using Excel. Thanks for the tip guys.

My first tank got me 25.9 MPG. All short trip city miles.

I'm not sure spending $170 on a device to figure my MPG is nearly as cost effective as doing it the old fashioned way. (nor could it be nearly as accurate)

I'm a bit concerned too, yes this was mainly inner city driving but it was very light footed. I know EPA ratings on the manufacturers websites isn't entirely "accurate", but when I'm being told it should get 40 city and 50 highway, I do expect my mileage to be pretty decent.

For now I'll just assume that the motor is still finding its groove and going through the break-in process, and that the mileage will get better. Already my last tank was 36 MPG, but still, that was 75% highway and very, very light footed. Still a far cry from 50 MPG. :(

The ScanGauge II does a lot more than just compute MPG. (add OBDII code read-out & clearing, RPM, Voltage, Water Temp. and much more.

Its MPG calculation, per tankfull, is only 1/10 of a mile per gallon off of my by-hand calculations. The ScanGauge has a corrective adjustment feature to make this level of accuracy possible.

I am a big Excel fan, but keeping track of EVERY tank of gasoline is a little much from my point of view.

I have now been tracking my mpg this way.
