What he said, though I've found it easier to put the log together post mortem. Just by writing ODO on each and every receipt, you can retrace your steps when you get back. But that's my strategy and it's worked for me.Read the rulesAlright, now I have another question on the ride report. Say I take Valuemans 2nd route, and I stop for fuel every 150-200 miles at the major cities along the route, Chat, Nashville ,franfort, etc. would the gas tickets not be good enough? Chicky, are you saying i'll need to say odo reading was 735 miles at junction of 35 and 78(still easy enough to fake with a map program) or I'll need some ticket to prove I was there.
gas receipts should have:
location (city, state, store name)
time
time zone
date
and you should include:
odo reading
sequence number of the receipt (for your benefit later)
Keeping a gas log that has date, time, time zone, location, odo reading (in addition to receipts) is a requirement of the certification process. It serves as a double check for your receipts when you get home and start organizing your paperwork prior to mailing it off.

I've have always put my paperwork together so that it's super-easy for the Kneebone/IBA guys. The more work you do for them the easier it is.
If you lay out your receipts chronologically and tape them to a piece of paper and photo copy them as opposed to tossing them in an envelope you're miles ahead of the game.
