Mileage log - The mere mention of this term can cause a panic attack in some folks. If you've ever needed to keep track of your vehicle's mileage, then you probably know exactly what I'm talking about.

In the "old" days when your only alternative was some form of manually keeping track of your mileage, this little report could turn into a real chore (if not a nightmare) very quickly.

A mileage log really is essential to anyone who needs to keep track of their automobile's mileage for tax purposes or business usage like an expense report. And doing it the old-fashioned manual way simply wasn't fun at all, no matter how organized you were.

First, you had to locate your manual mileage log (if you had one) and then you had to note the beginning mileage at the start of your trip. Quite often, you would end up using a scrap of paper to record your information and these random scraps of paper are easy to lose, especially when your mind is on other things.

Than at the end of your trip, you needed to remember to log the ending mileage. Then your notes needed to be assembled into a monthly report of some kind. If you've ever recorded a significant amount of mileage, you know what I'm talking about.

However, things have changed for the better in the digital age. There is a relatively new little digital device that automatically takes care of recording all of the info needed to create and accurately maintain your information. It's called a "digital mileage log" and it's amazing.

Smaller than a dollar bill, it's portable and very easy to use as well! Just plug it into your auto's cigarette lighter and then turn it on when you begin the trip and then turn it off at the end of your trip. Your data will then be transmitted the company's website. Then you can login, make any necessary notes and shazaam! The information you want is ready to be printed for your expense account report, tax audit or whatever.

This little gizmo will make your life so much better - your manual records will be a thing of the past and you'll marvel at how you did without this digital tool for so long! Plus your records will be more accurate and with the gasoline prices climbing higher and higher every day, keeping track of accurate mileage figures is more of a necessity than ever before.

Gasoline prices are going crazy in 2008 and consequently the Federal income tax deduction for business mileage is over $0.50 per mile right now. It has become essential to keep accurate track of your mileage. If you're not doing so, you are leaving money on the table.

If keeping track of your business mileage is important to you, you really need to get yourself automated. With a digital mileage log, your record keeping will be easier and more accurate and you'll never have to scramble for a scrap of paper to record mileage again. With a digital mileage log, you'll be amazed at just how simple and easy it can be maintaining your mileage log.
