David asked how techs keep up with mileage. Attached is an excel spreadsheet that I have been using for the last few years. I was lazy when I developed it so all the months have 31 days available. I just use the ones I need. I just enter the beginning mileage and the ending mileage. The formulas do the arithmetic and then multiply the total miles traveled by the current mileage rate. I simply change the rate factor when the IRS updates theirs. Usually I keep this template as a base reference and when I begin to enter data I save the file under a new name for that particular year. I don't use a PDA so you are on your own to make it work in that format but the spreadsheet itself is fairly easy to use.
