Another way for the government socialists to tax you -- based on the mileage you drive.  Reporting the data to the government will be mandatory under the guise of environmental laws.

I, however, don't have this product but one similar. It's the Mileage Logger by Vulocity. It tracks your vehicle through GPS and cellular networks. It has completely saved me. I bought one and was able to accurately file this year for over 20,000 business miles, which means I will receive over $11,000 in reimbursement. For years I estimated or didn't file at all, but this year I was able to do it stress-free. I can't say enough good things about this gadget. <br>check it out at www.mileagelogger.com]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[nataliemarkey]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 23rd 2009 3:50PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on GiSTEQ USB dongle makes trip logging quick, easy, and utterly heroic]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/19/gisteq-usb-dongle-makes-trip-logging-quick-easy-and-utterly-he/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/19/gisteq-usb-dongle-makes-trip-logging-quick-easy-and-utterly-he/</guid><description><![CDATA[Anyone who knocks this product obviously hasn't had to calculate mileage themselves.<br><br>Something like this would save me hours every month.  $100 upfront is a pittance to get that wasted time back.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ryan Meray]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 23rd 2009 7:49PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
