Expensive but worth it,
I’ve used this model of book for more than 20 years. It’s hard to find an auto record book that has a good index system, convenient dividers that stick out for easy access, and plenty of room for records over an extended period. This book has all these elements.
If you shop around, most of what you’ll find for auto record books is cheap notebooks or a few pages of paper with a flimsy cardboard cover. This spiral-bound record book is much more substantial and will hold up with repeated handling. I buy a new book for each car, and that book stays with the car as long as I own it.

|The best for tracking mileage and general expenses,
The biggest reason this product is the best for its purpose is that it’s not designed for the traveling business person, whose needs are specific day-to-day recording of every expense. For most people, that format is a complete waste. this format, however, is nice and compact. You enter the dates of fuel or service, rather than them being pre-entered, calendar-like, and so you fill up the book one line at a time, taking weeks, or even months, to fill a page. It tracks the necessary information, and even has a handy chart to let you estimate your gas mileage. It’s small, fitting nicely in a glovebox. It’s sturdy, with a thick plastic cover and a strong spiral binding. The only drawback to this product is that it is typically not available in many bog-box office supply stores (probably because it doesn’t need to be replaced as often as other auto logs, and so sales aren’t as robust), so you’re almost forced to buy it online–which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, and Amazon’s price is actually lower than list. this product is a good example of one the has no unneeded bells and whistles, but does the basics, and does them right.

|Well Suited to the Purpose,
I dunno why, but it is just about impossible to find a well designed auto-log to keep track of automobile-related purchases. This one is the only one that I’ve found provides everything you need. There are separate sections devoted to gasoilne purchases, repairs and lubrication, deductible business trip-related expenses.
The few auto-logs I’ve seen in retail stores are either too big to be placed in a glove compartment or too small to allow the user enough room make legible entries. Not this one. The log is reasonably sized, and the boxes for entering data are reasoably sized, and a sufficient number of pages are provided.
