i get gas every 200 miles. 8.3 gallons.
when i install the fat chick bus tank in my other bus i may need one of those or gas every 300 miles ,i guess.

I used to just fill up on the even hundreds to make it easy. Sure don't want to be forgetting one though!

I still am but no reply yet! :(

Also do fill up around every 200 miles too, but using 3 vehicles often, it's tough to remember the milage on all 3 at a given time. :?

I keep a note book on each and did find 1 "counter" which I keep in the Plump Truck. 8)

Dubstar, I'm trying to get another.

Anyone else interested? PM me. Looks like $20 shipped to you. "Made in Germany !"

Some better pictures, and I found a second style. Red dials for how much gas you put in the tank, and the standard odometer. Set for when you gassed up, or when you need to stop for more gas.

I put the second style up in the classifieds. For those who prefer the first, PM me, and I will add you to the list.

Funny...I have one of each of these. I use one as an oil change reminder and the other to remind me when to rotate the tires.

I use a dry erase marker and the underside of my ashtray to note when I get gas.

Up until now, I've had little slips of paper clipped to my visors...

We use a Stabilo pencil to record oil change and other mileage-specific info in the door jamb or the lower corner of the windshield.
Works nicely- the pencil is designed for use on a slick surface and wipes away with a bit of water. It's otherwise used for sign painting and such.

What a good idea. I'm going to start doing this.

If someone would step up and make a decent petcock, I could throw that dry-erase marker away.
