Can I choose what Refuellings to include in my 90 days?

I've just refuelled after finishing the tank used for the trackday- used 15.74US Gal for 412.1 miles


I am wondering whether I can include this in the existing fuel log, and be able to ignore it ? or would I ahve to put it in a seperate fuel log?

Its just that the use was not exactly "normal" use for the car..

Personally, I'd count it since it gives the vehicle average. I've started to count tanks even when I'm not driving and even tanks I didn't pay for. (I loan my car out for just the cost of gas a lot)

That said, there is no official looking at these records, and everyone else is on the honor system as well. There is nothing or no one stopping you from doing whatever you want in your own log. The information is there for your use to see what your mileage looks like.

If you want to leave it out, you could just make a note of it "Left a tank out for racing" etc.

When I did testing of my mods I fuelled up before and after and that's the only tank left out of my log (but it is in my private log on my computer). Had that testing been part of an otherwise normal tank, I would have included everything.

IMO everything that goes into the tank, should also go into the log.
The only fuel missing from my fuel log on spritmonitor.de is what Volvo put in at the factory.

Doesnt seem to have killed my average too much..
