Gas Mileage

Is there a program that you can use to track your gas mileage besides excel? I'm trying to work with that right now and it annoys the hell out of me.
I was wondering if there is some program I can download for free to do it, or if someone would be willing to email me one. I'd be happy if someone also has a nicely laid out spreadsheet that auto calculates the MPG by just entering the numbers. Thanks to anyone who can help.

You'd think with all the hours I spent in computer classes in college I would remember how to use excel.

It seriously doesn't get any easier than excel... or pony up the funds and sign up for ownersite.com and track everything via a web site.

^ Steve-O, how 'bout a kick back for the plug?! j/k, don't ban me.

Well would someone be willing to send me a blanked out excel sheet that they might use themselves? Something neatly laid out.
I was planning on using excel but I am having a hell of a time trying to get the cells to divide the miles driven by the number of gallons. It keeps coming out wrong.

Here ya go:
In A1 write "miles"
In A2 write "gallons"
In A3 write "MPG"
then in cell B1 you put your miles.
in B2 your gallons.
Copy/paste this into B3 without quotes "=B1/B2"

Here you go man, go check out and register with http://www.tallahasseegasprices.com/.

I am a member of ColumbusGasPrices.com (Ohio), and it is great, both for the information and message boards, but mostly for the mileage tracking. Here are some screenshots of their system in use:





^^ Yes those are graphs! Once you register, just go to 'Fuel Logbook' on the top of the page. It's great...every fillup so far for me has been tracked!

The company I work for uses a gas card that tracks milage. Every time you fill up it asks for an odometer reading. They then can pull up a report and see what kind of milage each vehicle is getting (there is one car per vehicle.) I believe the name of the company is wright express.
