What's Your Trip For?
 
Just wanted to find out what all you guys use your tripmeters for. I use my "Trip A" for various things, like legs of a trip, etc. But I use my "Trip B" for everytime I fill up with gas so I can see how far I get on a tank.

So, what do you use yours for?

just the oposite... trip A watches gas mileage, trip B gets used every now and then for distances/etc. Neither gets used for trips (that's what the GPS is for).

I use it to see how many km I get per tank of gas...other than that no...unless I go on a road trip which has only happened once...

Bah! I only have one trip meter. I use it for gas mileage.

gas on A

misc on B -> I did use it to test different routes to work to
see which was longer.

Gas mileage on B and everything else on A. I don't use A often since I've learned the distance of my every trip :)

I use A to monitor how many miles I get per tankful, one of these days I'll find a use for B... :)

BTW, my odometer is always displaying A

GAS mileage only , I only have one... If I want to measure a distance from A to B , then I just reset it .. At times I forget about it and look down and see 988 ... lol
I am just like damn already

A is for gas mileage

B I reset when the low fuel light comes on. That way I know if I can go somewhere without filling up.

I use one for gas mileage occasionally.

The other I usually use to monitor my distance to a jobsite. Over 40 miles from my shop, I get to start charging my company my hourly rate for travel expenses.

Niether A nor B is exclusive to a purpose - I just use whichever one isn't being used at that time.

A for gas, B for whatever. I only reset B if I'm curious about a distance, whether or not a "shortcut" is really shorter, etc. First car I've had with 2 tripmeters; I played with them a lot for the first month or so.
