After the Bridgestones where installed the fuel mileage has rarely been above 30mpg, but they suite my driving style much better than the Yokohama or Continental tires I had before.

My previous car was a Subaru Impreza WRX, which averaged 23mpg. If I would have kept that car to this day I would have used 7502 gallons of premium fuel in the same distance. I saved about 1900 gallons of fuel, and 37050 pounds of CO2.

That's impressive. Keeping tabs that long is even more impressive.

I am saving about $70.00 per month in fuel compared to the previous vehicle, Ford Windstar.

^ +1 Most excellent as well. Good going

Wow. Another gas station receipt tracker!

These are from my previous 2003 5-speed.+

I haven't been keeping track of the fuel costs because it costs what it does. So it's just Date, Odometer and Gallons put in the tank. Still so much data

I applaud you for keeping tabs on it that long! It's kind of a pain, however I think is entirely worth it to have the data. Years ago I started logging in google docs and then transitioned to Fuelly to help keep track of it all. A quick text to Fuelly with the info at each fill makes it fairly simple.

I've logged every tank on my current Sonic and the Accent before that. On the Accent, I had 560 tanks logged (114k miles - small tank, meh fuel economy and fueling up well before it was empty contributed to the high count.)

I started logging fuel-ups in Mrs. Panic's Vibe once I discovered Fuelly. Closing in on 100 fuel-ups now and 30k logged.

Keep up the good work.

I too applaud you for your determination and effort logging this data for so long. I am also one of those people and currently log data on the FOUR vehicles in our family fleet. We don't drive them a whole lot so some entries are months apart but the data is priceless if/when a problem arises and you need that "benchmark" to use as reference. Here's to 500 more fill-ups

Great data set, like how you logged the tires...
Bet you wish gas was still the price of those early fill ups...

That's actually one of the reasons I don't track the fuel prices, the other reason is I'm lazy and don't want to enter the costs in to the spreadsheet

Very interesting thread and some impressive numbers Jeremy !

I just entered my mom's 155th fillup and my 147th fillup on MPG Tune. It's very interesting to be able to go back and compare info from both Vibes, etc. I too enter any important information with the fillup i.e. the first full tank in my mom's Vibe after I installed the K&N SRI and AEM air filter, when I add Techron to a tank after an oil change, etc. I just wish I would have been keeping track of all this from the very beginning . Oh well, better late than never I guess .
