This post is the canonical lifetime expense log for the Fortuner. Every row in _data/expenses.csv tagged with car: "Fortuner" rolls up below — fuel, maintenance, accessories, tolls, and other — across every trip and every one-off spend since the vehicle joined the fleet.

How to read this

  • Fuel — petrol/diesel refuels, DEF top-ups.
  • Maintenance — service, parts, washes.
  • Accessories — recovery gear, racks, mounts.
  • Tolls — actual toll deductions during a trip.
  • Other — anything that does not fit the above (use sparingly).

The report card at the bottom of this page is regenerated on every build. The itemized log can be expanded to view every line.

Adding new spend

Append a row to _data/expenses.csv. Each row must set:

  • date — calendar date (YYYY-MM-DD)
  • carFortuner (must match this post’s car: exactly)
  • trip_id — for spend tied to a specific trip, use that trip’s id. For non-trip spend, use a stable identifier like ownership-2026.
  • category — one of fuel, maintenance, accessories, tolls, other
  • amount — whole rupees (no commas, no decimals)
  • description — short free text

See docs/data-format.md for the full schema.
