Default RE: Does any MS Money version include tracking vehicle fuel usage deta

I'm using Money H&B 2008 and it has mileage tracking in the Business section
under the Resources tools.

See the thread "Excel spreadsheet to track MPG" in this group.

Hey, Steve - I could use one of those if you wouldn't mind sending details.

Thank you!

As far as I know, no version of Money has ever had a mileage calculator.
It's the type of thing they add each year to justify the "new and
improved" label on the box instead of fixing things people keep
complaining about. Most of these features are just "pasted on". They added
home inventory a few years ago, but the data doesn't tie in to the rest of
the system. For example, adding inventory items doesn't increase your net
worth.

I track my mileage in a spreadsheet. It's fast and easy, and I can
customize it any way I want. Let me know if you want help setting one up.

Default Does any MS Money version include tracking vehicle fuel usage deta

My previous personal finance tracking software automatically requested
mileage/odometer reading and amount of fuel and could report quickly and
easily on consumption per vehicle. It boggles my mind that this simple
add-on is not available on such an established personal finance package, so I
assume the version I am trialing is just missing it, and it can't be a
complete oversight from MS.

Please could someone let me know if any version of MS money includes this
facility, and if none, what other personal finance software does?
