I don’t rack up miles like a long haul trucker and fueling up happens so infrequently that I often cannot remember when the last time or what my mileage was at the time.  Yes, I could write it down but that seems quaint especially in these day of pervasive micro apps to help me with the minutia of living.  My buddy Josh knocked out an incredible useful sms/web app, Empg.info, to help people like me track their fuel economy.

Empg is a fast and easy way to record your car’s mileage electronically, and get all the information you need about it at your finger tips.

Simply send a text message to 41411 starting with “EMPG” followed by your odometer reading, and then the number of gallons you purchased. Track each fill-up, and we’ll keep track of the average and let you know how good your mileage is.

I’m loving the service and plus he is rolling out handy little badges to drop on your website, mine shows just how infrequently I fuel up.
