Hey guys ... a buddy of mine records his gas fill ups every time he is at the pump, and I decided to start adopting the practice.
These are the current columns I have. The mileage (or km's) / date mix is a nice record of the type of mileage I'm putting on the bike throughout the riding season, while the mileage / gallons mix is a great way to average out your miles (or km's) per gallon.
My bike only alerts me when I have 1 gallon left in the tank, so to know I'm averaging ~48 mph with my current sample size is helpful. For example, I rode a bit over 20 miles after the light came on today, and it matches nicely with the 3 gallon fill up on a 3.6 gallon tank.
One of the other perks of doing this that I can see is that if the bike starts to run poorly, I may see that reflected in the average mpg between fill ups. Obviously I have to factor in the context of running the bike hard, city riding, etc. that could also be the cause.
Anyway, thought some of you might find the practice useful, too, or have other ideas/opinions on such a "log".
Best,
