A notebook..... and a pencil. My notebook has a milky textured plastic cover and it fits the space just to the right of my instrument pod, flat on the dash. I leave it attached there with a couple of flatish magnets on the rear cover of the notebook. Got mine at Staples. So whenever I fill up, I grab my crummy simple Nokia cell phone and go to the calculator function. Divide the trip odo reading by the number of gallons I put in and get the mpg. (I sometimes even do the division in my head) I flip up that clear-ish plastic cover and write down the numbers inside that book..along with the date and where I filled up. The milky plastic cover, and why did I mention that? With the pencil, I can write stuff on that textured surface... Temporary stuff (I should say "Data" not stuff, to be 2010-relevant) I get while driving...Later, after I have used the "Note" that I wrote on the notebook cover, I can wipe it off with a damp cloth or use the pencil erasor and "mechanically delete" it without messing up that notebook cover. When a page gets full, I remove it and place it with my owners manual in my vehicle docs file folder...a real live folder, in the glovebox of my van. So old school.. |
