One summer, I noticed my fuel bills were climbing way too fast. I started keeping track of my hours manually and double-checking everything with some basic spreadsheets. It wasn’t anything fancy, but it helped me identify which machines were really guzzling fuel.

There was a time I tried to go with my gut when it came to fuel usage let’s just say it didn’t end well. I ended up overfilling, overworking, and wasting way more than I anticipated. Now, I rely on telematics whenever I can, along with backup spreadsheets. It’s incredible how much you can learn from the data and how quickly you can adjust your habits without sacrificing productivity
