Dentist appointments just may be one of the worst ways to start a day.

Although in the last month I've put 3,469 miles on, avg mpg 15.084, min mpg 13.022, max mpg 16.229, and my last tank of fuel with mixed driving was 15.432 mpg. This was also over 7 fill ups.
those apps are nice....but with a click they can scare the crap out of ya....

That they can.......

I mainly started using it for service reminders since I do my oil and fuel filter changes now. That and I was kind of curious at how much fuel I was chewing through in a month.

Ehh.... It is what is.

Edit:
I would rather pay someone else to do it at this point in my life because I can earn more money I can't create more time with the kids, grand kids, or doing what I really enjoy on the weekends.
