OVERVIEW
The Fuel Log is used to track fuel payments. Miles between fill-ups
and miles per gallon are calculated for you. Payments are included
in the CPM report and can be entered out of sequence.
If the MAINTENANCE REMINDER FUEL LOG OPTION (Set Defaults) is set
to Y, then the Maintenance Reminder will automatically run whenever
you enter the Fuel Log. If due or overdue maintenance items are
found, then a message will display at the top of the screen telling
you to run the Maintenance Reminder program. Set this default to N
if you do not want to use this feature.
NOTE: The Fuel Log will take longer to load if you select Y.
ADD
Press the A key to add a fuel record. Enter the date, odometer or
hours, amount, paid code, # of gallons (liters), fl code, vendor
and comments. After the vendor has been entered (or the Enter key
is pressed), the screen will shift to show the comments field.
Valid paid codes are the letters A-O or a blank (SPACE). The fl
field indicates whether or not the tank was filled. MPG and miles
can only be calculated if you enter a "Y" for the fl.
Records are indexed (sorted) by the date and odometer field. You
can enter the fuel records in any date order. If the odometer does
not 'fall' between the previous and next odometers, miles and mpg
will not be calculated. All records with a fl of Y should have
miles and mpg amounts. (The reports and the Total option will tell
you if the records do not look right).
NOTE: Just enter the date and odometer (hours) for the very first
record. Do not enter a cost, the # of gallons or the fl.
Use the right cursor to skip fields.
All odometer or hour values are accumulative. If you should
need to replace the odometer or hour meter, set the new one
to the old setting. (Check with the proper agency before ad-
justing odometer settings to make sure you are not violating
any federal or local laws.)
* You can press PgDn to add a record when you are at the *
* vendor field and if you do not see the cursor. *
CHANGE
Use this option to make corrections or to add items that were not
included when the record was added. Position to the field you want
to change, press Enter and make the change.
DELETE
Use this to remove a record. Deleted records will not be included
in reports. You can not recall (undelete) a record that has been
deleted. Deleted records are 'hidden' but remain in the file until
it is reindexed. You should not need to delete records unless you
added them to the wrong vehicle.
REPORTS
Fuel Log reports can be created for any period of time. You can
include or exclude comments and also double-space between records.
Average (miles/hours) per (gallon/liter) is only calculated if all
Paid Codes are selected. Any blank or unmatched codes will total in
the UNMATCHED category. (If you are only using codes A and B and
accidentally enter a record with a paid code of C through O, then
that record will be totaled into the UNMATCHED category).
If you are not selecting all Paid Codes, then only blank paid codes
will be totaled into the UNMATCHED category. Selecting only certain
codes is useful mainly in getting a listing of records with just
those certain codes. For example, if code C = Other Person, then
you can list just those payments made by another person by select-
ing just Paid Code C.
The default values assume that you want to list all payments and
all Paid Codes for the selected vehicle. If you want a report that
shows only Paid Code A, then blank out (enter a Space) all other
codes. The FROM and TO dates default to the first and last payment
dates.
NOTE: Ctrl-End takes you to the last entry, Ctrl-Home takes you to
the first.
Printing to a file will place this report into a file named FUE.TXT
which will be created in the Program Directory (VRS90). This option
will allow you to import this report into a word processing or a
spreadsheet program if those programs support ASCII files.
EXAMPLE: You want to create a report showing all payments for 1989.
To do this, change FROM to 01/01/1989 & TO to 12/31/1989.
Press the PgDn key.
TOTAL
Pressing the T key gives you totals for all records and the totals
that are used in calculating the accumulative average miles per
gallon. The average totals are derived from the first record
through the last record that has a Y in the fl field. If the last
record has a fl of Y, then the totals will be the same.
A message will display if a record does not appear to be 'right'.
Check the odometer for the indicated record and change it so that
it is between the previous and next odometers.
NOTE: It is a good idea to check the totals after adding or making
changes to ensure that the records are ok.
FORM
Press the F key to print a 1 page log form. You can keep this form
in your vehicle and then, periodically, transfer the information to
the Fuel Log. Enter any Comments on the bottom of the line.
