Same here, I track mileage in an iPod touch app. The fuel guage on my bike isnt recise enough for me, I like to know exactly how many miles I have left in my tank, Ive had to push out of gase bikes before. In my car the fuel guage ususally works but every once in a while it will just go to empty for no reason.

I know my mileage but I can also have a peek in the tank and have a look.

I usually reset my trip meter but if I don't remember it's no biggie.

I had an old Chevy P/U years ago that had a broken gas gauge so I had to use my trip odometer to know when to get fuel. About every 150 miles. 16 gallon tank @ 10MPG highway. More frequent if I was heavy on the gas pedal.
