I am about to start tracking my miles for Spark and Uber (better halfway through the year than never, I suppose) and I would like to know if you all choose to deduct miles from your total mileage if you do something non work related during your trip.

I’m talking about a trip to the gas station or a fast food restaurant, for instance, then straight back to work.

Would it still count if it is between your starting point and the destination listed on your mileage log? It is a “break” to me, but I’d like to know if there is any literature surrounding this or general best practice.

Thanks in advance! Any additional advice is appreciated!

To preface: I have gas in my car and don’t plan on running out.

Do I need a special funnel to add fuel from a gas can if I do run out? My last vehicle had a capless filler neck and came with a funnel to engage the flap and bypass the EVAP canister at the top of the filler neck. Do I need something similar on my 2017 SX Turbo that uses a gas cap with an open filler neck?

Any info is helpful. Thanks!
