thinking about mileage tools

Thinking about mileage these days. I drive a VW Touareg V10 diesel. Now it gets about 20mpg which is pretty good for a big fast truck. And i run 100% biodiesel, so I don’t need to feel like getting 100mpg because I am not burning any dinosaurs. But lately I have seen a rash of press on services that will track your mileage and help you improve it. I like these sites. I personally use Propel Fuel’s Cleandrive program, since that is where I buy all my biodiesel. But that is only for their customers. I recently joined Fuelclinic which is a web site for everyone. Unfortunately you have to enter all your fuel purchases and mileage yourself. Over at Propel, they have my credit card on file and I when I fill up the site is automagically updated to show me mileage, CO2 reduction, everything. I hope the people at FuelClinic get some integration to the credit card companies or something soon. That would make it WAY more useful. For now I am going to stick with Propel and you should as well if you drive a diesel in seattle. But if not, join FuelClinic….
