I keep "wheel books" in both the Tundra and FJ since I use them for the farm business...record keeping is everything, especially for vehicles not tagged for farm only. For gas stops I write down the standard stuff: date, time, amount, of gas and track the mileage off the odo...if the odo is wrong at east it is consistently so

I also track specific trips for farm related stuff...mileage in/out, date and the purpose of the trip.

The Tundra gets 17.0 hwy/15 in town. I drive it mostly on longer trips.

The LC 15/14 and I really work at squeezing MPG!

I average, driving both, about 10k per year. They have both been paid for for a long time so any addition to the rotation really doesn't make financial sense.

When we move to South Carolina I may get a smaller truck. Not really sure.
