What Should You Record at Every Fill-Up?
Date, total, gallons, odometer, and station — five fields, one minute.

Short answer
Record date/time, total paid, gallons, odometer (or trip miles), and station. Optional: payment method, fuel grade, receipt photo.
Why odometer matters
Without miles between fills, MPG stays blank or guesswork.
Partial fills
Mark partial tanks if your app supports it — MPG math usually wants full tanks.
Receipt as backup
A photo covers disputes and tax records. Scan it in the app instead of retyping.
