3-USE INSTRUCTIONS:

This utility calculates fuel usage costs. After just a month or two, it 
will forcast your annual fuel expense. It has three inputs: fuel volume,
fuel cost and odometer reading. Each purchase of fuel should be recorded.
Data can be entered using any set of units. If U.S. units are entered 
then the outputs are current miles per gallon, number of days since last 
fill, total fuel purchased to date and the total cost to date. It also 
provides average miles per gallon over the recording period, average 
cost per gallon, average cost per day and a projection of the total fuel 
cost per year.

Three buttons are provided [Setup/Enter], [Undo] and [Reset]. The dual 
purpose [Setup/Enter] button should first be used for the single entry of
the starting odometer reading. It then becomes a group [Enter] button for
sets of fuel volume, purchase cost and subsequent odometer readings. Each
data set is checked for consistency. The [Enter] button is locked when 
required to prevent unintended double entries. The [Undo] button removes
the last data set. The [Reset] button clears ALL entered values. It is 
protected against accidental use. 

 
***********************************************************************

4-RECOMMENDATIONS and LIMITATIONS:

Record the first odometer reading just after the fuel tank is filled. Use 
the [Setup] button to enter the reading.  This sets the starting distance
and date for subsequent entries. It is recommended that the fuel tank be
filled before each data group recording. A partially filled tank can 
cause the calculation of current MPG to be erratic, however, even with
this, a fair estimate for average MPG and actual costs is still provided. 
After notifying the user, the calculator can compensate for skipped or 
missed data groups. Note, trip mileage should NOT be used for any entries.
