If you were hoping for a single gas mileage calculator that you could plug your vehicle information into, get your number and be on your way, we’re sorry to disappoint. Even the EPA ratings that you may have thought you knew have been changed.
The calculators we have here are far more accurate and useful. Each is designed to do something a little different than the others, so all of them could be of use depending on your need today. We continue to expand our reach to fill your needs. If you see a calculator you think we should have here, or if you are searching for one we don’t have, please let us know and we’ll do our best to bring it to you.
Log All Your Miles for Business or IRS mileage reimbursement
This is almost too easy. Plug in this device and all your miles are automatically logged for you so you don’t need to worry about an IRS audit. This is a GPS enabled device is rechargable and portable so it can be moved from vehicle to vehicle. You can go online to review reports, delete non-business trips, make notes on all, and export to your spreadsheet program. Puts you in IRS compliance for one vehicle or a business fleet. (Editor’s note: this is also marketed as a “teen driving” checkup and there’s a real time vehicle locator service available.)
Get Immediate Feedback While You Are Driving
Some newer cars come equipped with an on-board calculator that will tell you your current miles per gallon, but many more do not. What better time to do something about correcting your driving using the tips from our blog or newsletter than when you are actually driving. Speed up or slow down and you can watch what that is doing to your fuel use. This tool also monitors other vital engine functions to help you diagnose and correct engine problems earlier.
Track Your Gas Mileage and Maintenance Schedule Over Time
Enter your gas purchase information for up to three vehicles (for personal use) or your fleet (for business use) into this calculator and it will do the math and let you view or print out charts and graphs of your mileage over time. It also keeps track of your maintenance needs on it’s own and will remind you when it’s time to rotate those tires, replace that air filter and so on.
Calculate Today’s Mileage By Hand
If you just want to figure out your mileage today, there are two ways you can do it with just paper and a pencil. Either will give you a snapshot of what your mileage is today, but neither should be used as a predictor of what it will be tomorrow.
Plan Your Next Road Trip
You don’t have to give up vacations to save money on gas. You can relax and enjoy your trip if you plan ahead with us. We bring together three leading calculators (each tell just part of the story) so you won’t encounter any nasty, budget breaking surprises at the pumps between here and there.
EPA Ratings Change Calculated For You
In 2008, the gas mileage EPA ratings were changed for the first time in 20 years. Driving styles, temperatures and even air conditioning use are behind the “mileage may vary” caveat that was always attached to that benchmark number. Simply input that old number and this calculator will tell you what the new epa rating is.
Looking to Buy A New Car?
Just three pieces of information will help you determine if you could save money on gas by buying that new car, SUV or truck you’ve been thinking about. Input today’s cost of gas, your epa gas mileage figure and your total odometer miles, then do the same for the car you’re thinking about, and this calculator will tell you if, and how much, you can expect to save at the pump if you buy. No, it won’t take the cost of the new vehicle into account, but it’s a start.
