I keep all receipts as the truck is used for business purposes.

There was about 30 1/4mile trips in that one. That and the dash reset mileage when the batteries were out. That made the mileage from the last fuel stop to the shop not count. Anyone else have their trip meter reset when the batteries were disconnected?

The software is written in PHP4, so if your webserver can run PHP and MySQL, you're welcome to it. I was going to make it automated for users to sign up, but I got to busy.

Hey Jack, Once there is money for the new DTR forum servers, maybe you could set up the old servers to run that software......

I would mine to check out the software too... Sounds interesting... I was impressed with the screen shot you have linked up. You need to throw a link out to down this package...

I will be able to run that once I get my newer server up.... I would host it for yall unless the bandwidth requirement gets out of control.

Bandwidth should be very small, there's not much to it. The setup probably isn't very secure at all, but I'm not really bothered by anyone 'hacking' my fuel milage tables. In other words, I'm not responsible for anything.
