Keeping fuel receipts

[Basher]

I keep fuel receipts. I keep all kind of receipts. At the end of every week I like knowing what I've spent money on, and how much of it I've spent.

Online banking?

Online banking?

Sure online banking is handy for card transactions. But for cash transactions receipts are good. Receipts are also handy for returns.

But why pay cash for anything other than tiny amounts that don't matter anyway?

 

[Mud]

yup. (along with mileage covered, average mpg, what the car thinks the MPG was)

Whoops, yeah...and the trip computer tally. Haven't gone as far as logging the car's MPG readout, that gets left to tick up to 99 hrs 59 mins (~42 MPG average over the past 100 hrs in my boggo 2l TDIapparently...would rather not know the fudge factor ).

I withdraw £x at the start of every week. It comes in handy for buying fruit and veg at the market stall who don't have chip & pin, it comes in handy when I want to buy a Twix from the newsagents, etc. Cash transactions are still alive.

We keep ours for business / tax reasons also.

My friend does, to prove his car has only been fuelled with super unleaded.

Would I do it? Nope.

How does that prove it's only been filled with super unleaded !?

 

[Liquidfox]

I used to, then got sick of the stupid amount of them I had. Now just use an app on my phone to track everything.

 

[decoy]

Yes, keep them for expenses.

 

[TheDean]

Keep mine until I've driven a few miles, just on the off chance that there's dodgy petrol about.

 

[Django x2]

I do, as I claim mileage, but once it's been paid, I ditch them

You tell me As I said, would I do it? Nope lol

 

[Haggisman]

Record volume, price and date in excel file to log fuel consumption, then bin.

This

(although it's usually more a case of, write mileage on receipt, stick in centre console and forget for 3 months, then spend 2hrs updating spreadsheet )

 

[Lustral]

Keep mine for claiming.

Snap

 

[Relentless81]

I also have this mental issue, I think its because I think they will try and take more than they should, even though logically I know this will never happen

 

[lordrobs]

I keep mine, but only for claiming expenses.

This.

But I also track my fuel economy with hyper anal accuracy on RoadTrip.

 

[bledd]

I've got a google docs speadsheet that tracks my usage, and tells me when things need servicing/replacing

It's got 92 fuel entries in it now

 

[Linkex]

I tend to keep the last one in the glove box, just in case someone cocks up I end up getting incorrectly reported for bilking or whatever they call it. For the sake of chucking it in the glove box, it seems daft not to considering the headache it would be trying to disprove it otherwise.

 

[GTAMADDOG]

I've still got a few from the last couple of months, I tend to put them in my wallet when leaving the garage and forget about them for quite a while. Got no reason to keep them.
