Example fuel log entry
One complete entry gives price and mileage context; a series of entries makes trends reliable.
| Date | Odometer | Fuel | Unit price | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aug 5, 2026 | 51,230 mi | 10.5 gal | $3.70 | $38.85 |
What to record at each fill-up
A useful fuel log records the odometer, litres and total price together. Keeping those values on one timeline prevents a receipt from losing its vehicle and mileage context.
- odometer and fuel amount for consumption
- total and unit price for cost comparisons
- station, notes or receipt when extra context matters
Turn individual receipts into a consumption trend
A single receipt shows what you paid today. A sequence of complete fill-ups shows average consumption, monthly fuel spend and whether a change persists beyond one unusual trip.
Keep receipts with the entry they explain
Keep the receipt or invoice next to the matching fill-up instead of searching the photo gallery later. Premium can synchronize supported attachments and export the organized history to PDF or CSV.
Start with the next visit to the station
You do not need to recreate years of records. Start with the current odometer and the next fill-up, then let the useful history grow with each visit to the station.
