Howdy. I asked this a while back ... several months ago. Are there any car record and milage programs out there? I want to keep maintenance records on two vehicles and be able to enter gas purchased, with odometer readings and get milage calculated, while maintaining total expenses. Thanks.

I do this too. While Excel is kinda bulky and over powered for such a simple application, it sure gets the job done, and can automate a whole lot of things for you. For example, my car can run on any grade of gas, but I keep track of which grade I use, and Excel keeps a running total of miles traveled and cost per mile for each grade. I can also look at my records of where I bought the gas and see which vendor consistently has the lowest prices over time. It wasn't a trivial spreadsheet to build, but it wasn't particularly challenging, either.

I expect that OpenOffice's spreadsheet app could do the same thing if you're philosophically opposed to sending money to Redmond...

Not going to help there cause is tied to a brand, but this app looks nice… and despite the 'blue&me powered by Microsoft', it also works on a Mac thanks to Adobe AIR.
