Track Your Mileage
Keeping track of the miles per gallon you’re getting can be one of the best ways to save money over the long term. A mileage log can give you insight into which driving habits give you the best fuel efficiency and indicate when it may be time to get a tune-up.
There are numerous ways to do this, from dedicated apps to a Numbers spreadsheet or just old-school pen and paper. It’s a simple formula as long as you fill up your tank every time you go to the pump: Take the number of miles you’ve driven since your last fill-up and divide it by the total gallons you’ve just put in your tank.
Plus, if you’re using GasBuddy, you’ll find a fuel log built right into the app, and since it’s integrated with the prices at your local stations, it saves you the step of entering the price at each fill-up!
