Gas Receipt Maker

A usable fuel receipt names the station and its location, gives the date and time of the fill-up, and shows the gallons, the price per gallon, the fuel grade, and the total paid, along with the payment method. Business claimants often need the total and the date at minimum, but a fuller receipt with the gallons and the per-gallon price stands up better if a claim is ever questioned. Receipt Caker lays out these fields so the receipt reads like the slip the pump would have printed.

Pump receipts are printed on thermal paper that fades within months, and the printer at the pump often runs dry, so a fill-up you meant to claim can leave you with nothing to show. If you paid by card, your statement proves the amount and the date but not the gallons or the grade, which some expense systems want. Recreating the receipt from what you actually paid lets you file a complete, legible record. Use it only to document real fuel you bought — never to invent a purchase or change what you paid.

It depends on how you claim. If you deduct actual vehicle costs, fuel receipts are the core evidence and you keep one per fill-up. If you claim a flat rate per mile instead, you generally log the miles rather than the fuel, so a mileage log matters more than the gas receipt — though many drivers keep both. The rules on which method you can use and what records you must hold are set by your tax authority or employer. Receipt Caker produces the receipt; pair it with the mileage log generator for the trip record.
