Fuel and MPG Log
See what a vehicle actually costs to run and spot a change in fuel consumption early, which is often the first sign that something mechanical is wrong.
Category
Per-fill fuel and cost records, kept unit-neutral so the same sheet works wherever you buy fuel and whatever your odometer reads in.
A vehicle's running cost is invisible until it is written down one fill at a time, and a change in fuel consumption is often the earliest warning that something mechanical is wrong. These sheets print no units and no norms — you declare the units at the top of the page and the numbers become yours.
See what a vehicle actually costs to run and spot a change in fuel consumption early, which is often the first sign that something mechanical is wrong.
Keep a contemporaneous mileage record in the vehicle, which is the kind that stands up, rather than one reconstructed at the year end.
Give a driver one sheet showing the whole run, with a signature line per drop and a place to record refusals and returns.
See the whole fleet on one page, so a vehicle nobody has looked at for a year stops being invisible and every renewal date sits where you can find it.
Show what a vehicle actually costs in lost availability, not just in invoices, and make a vehicle that keeps going off the road obvious in writing.
Keep a plain written record of when a driver started, stopped and rested, so the week can be checked against whatever limits apply to you.
See every renewal for every vehicle at once, so nothing is discovered the week after it lapsed or the morning a vehicle is needed.
Capture the road costs that never reach the fuel log, so an expense claim can be assembled from a record rather than from a pocketful of tickets.
Build a real picture of what an electric vehicle costs to run, and show the gap between home and public charging in your own figures.
Settle the awkward conversation before it happens, by recording the odometer, the fuel and the condition with both people present at handover and return.
Prove every refitted wheel was checked again once it had settled, and say who checked it. The wrench, its calibration and your own torque figures sit at the top, so every check is made against the right numbers.
Keep every reported defect open on one register until it is repaired and signed roadworthy. A count of the open lines at each review shows what is still waiting.
Record each inspection's brake result axle by axle, with the method and the load at test. The required efficiencies are written in from your own standard, so the result can be checked later.
Find old tyres before they reach a steered axle or pass your own age limit. One sheet per vehicle, read position by position from the sidewall date codes.
Show when each vehicle and item was checked for recalls, and how every open one was put right. The checks that found nothing are on it too.
Answer every notice for a company vehicle before its deadline, with proof of who was driving. One line per notice shows what is still open and who has been told.
See that every own car used for work has been checked against your policy before it is used. The register shows at a glance who is approved and whose insurance or test runs out next.
See which vehicles a clean air or low emission zone would charge before they are sent in. The plan on page two turns each charged vehicle into a decision: replace, retrofit, re-route or pay.
See a change in a vehicle's exhaust fluid use early, while it is still a number on a page. Every warning lamp sits on the same sheet, so a fault and a fall in use can be read together.
Find out whether daily walkaround checks are catching what they should. A defect a driver could have seen but nobody reported points at the check, not the vehicle.
Keep every test result and roadside outcome in one history, not a drawer of certificates. Counted together, first-time passes and prohibitions show how well the maintenance is working.
