Truck Fuel Burn rate sheet

[Putershark]

Attached to this note Tow vehicle for 190 Bay? is the Excel 2003 spread sheet that I created to track fuel burn rates in my Truck. Nothing really fancy (Excel training class project) but as you get 10 or more entries you should should start to see a much better picture of which brands of fuel give you your greatest ROI (Return on Investment) for the money you spent.

Just remember these 2 things which really help when using the Truck sheet is...
1. The drop down window for driving type has a lot of possible selections, so remember such for when you are "Towing with the A/C on" for example.
2. The comments section is also important for notation of your oil changes, upgrades and even small notations like "found tire presse low by 3 pounds" will give you a good overall performance picture in time.

Combined with this web site http://www.gasbuddy.com/ you will save money in the long run by using them and remember, that the cheapest fuel per gallon may NOT save you money "if" your engine burns more of the cheaper fuel in the process... These sheets will prove that over time, and you should find which of your local brands and octane rating works best in "your" engine.


I create this thread today to make it easier to find the sheet since before, it was buried on a older thread question about towing a 190 and was a little hard for me and my buddy Little Casino to find when we were chatting on the phone today

Also don't forget there is another I created for your boat located in the Marine Engine section. Since fuel is going back through the roof again / still using these may help you save (or at least not spend it as fast) a little money.

Any questions on using them just let me know

Enjoy!
