I record the milage, the litres and the price/litre at every fill - then enter into a spreadsheet to record & check for degradation etc. (And I do much the same for power usage - but that's a different story!) Richard P How are you guys obtaining these mileage figures? For years I have kept a notebook or the receipts with the ODO reading scribbled down - are you guys that meticulous? BTW - I'm not buying *any* mileage claims until I see some documentationm first!
