I get the urge to request that this thread be merged with the Tire Blew Up Help thread. They just seem so similar.

I did my gas receipts for last year yesterday and I have got to do something about the truck fuel consumption.

You're one of the only guys i have seen that take the fuel vs the per mile deduction..

No. I use the 55.5 cents a mile. But just because you use that doesn't mean you can't keep track of the fuel. I watch the gas mileage in my truck like a hawk. Excessive fuel consumption can be a sign of other things going on with the truck.

I have one credit card for the truck and another for the mowers. I know exactly where I'm spending money and exactly how much.
