The GF has been converted
Tried to get my girlfriend to track her mileage and it worked for a few tanks but that was with nagging...this was 3 years ago
Today she called me and told me her mileage and fuel usage without me even asking 
I think shes a keeper 
Fuel log is under 'Priya'

Congratulations! Wish I could say the same, she borrows my car and refuses to write down the mileage at fillups.
Maybe I should force her to drive her gas guzzling 4WD more.

I have a very simple solution to keep my wife's Mietek fuel log. I'm filling it up myself
I just waiting till the third blinker will tell "Drive me to the gas station" and that's it. Simple and efficient.

Been married 29 years, and to the same woman! She wishes I wouldn't EOC or toss car around corners fast. Don't think she knows my tire pressure. But she's a keeper just the same.
Wifey does like my gas bill though.

Girls back here care about fuel consumption. The less we spend with the rides, the more they want expensive presents  |

Krayzie, good for you (and your GF)! Now that she's taken the first step, tell her about 20% over EPA, ecomodder status, etc.

So they care about their boyfriend's fuel consumption...
-Honey, could you drive me over to the mall? I don't feel like walking 1.5 blocks today.
-Sure, but don't count on me buying you anything while we're there.

She does that for you, and you have been dating for 3 years? I agree with War Wagon; time to do some ring shopping!
My gf called and told me the miles and gallons of fuel used on the Jeep she is driving, and I didn't even ask! She just observed that I track these things when she is with me, and assumed I would be interested to know. Of course, it is my Jeep, so it's the least she could do.
Also, I'm only 8 months in and looking at getting a ring. No pressure on you though!
