If I want the maintenance performed in a timely matter, then it is my job to keep an eye on the odometer and fluid levels. Of course, we had our system worked out before we were married - she does the laundry and I do just about everything else - most of the cooking, cleaning, vehicle maintenance, pay bills, etc. I hate laundry and she takes care of that, everything else I don't mind. One thing I've done that helps me keep track of miles on the vehicles is to have a spreadsheet set-up to keep track of miles per gallon of gas. On each gas receipt she writes down the miles on the odometer, trip miles (tank), and of course the gallons, price per gallon, and total cost is printed on the receipt. Helps me keep track of the overall condition of the vehicle - if mpg suddenly drops by 3-5 I know a tire is getting low, or needs an air filter, or whatever - time to look things over! Email me if you want a copy of my spreadsheet that is all set up to calculate mpg for three different vehicles with total fuel cost for the year, total miles, etc.
