I just ordered one to see if the quality is ok and that the words don't get their edges trimmed off or something like that... I'll update you after I get the first proof. http://www.cafepress.com/docmiles There are 4 smaller stickers in each "kit" - with the "Receipt Reminder" being roughly 3" by 1" in size. There are 3 receipt-reminders (probably enough for a sticker on each car in your household) - plus one larger sticker (3" x 2") that says "Fuel Miser On Board" - just something I thought up. Maybe we can have a contest for the best phrase.

I've not considered them before - since they are kind of "permanent"... but you are right, they can be removed with a little effort. They have more of a "paint fading" problem - the magnets can be moved every few weeks to prevent an un-faded spot from forming where the magnet blocks the sun... And I think that a site like Cafepress can make weather-proof stickers (but not magnets) - and would make ordering them very easy for anyone. Let me look into this -- thanks for the great feedback and ideas.

I think it would make it just as visible and people wouldn't steal it off your vehicle either. The vinyl stickers are removable and wouldn't harm the vehicle.

The magnet is right there reminding me when I close my gas cap, the only thing that would be better is someone physically handing it to me from the pump! You can sign me up if you decide to do a run.

Makes it totally painless for you; it's free, they handle payments and shipping; you just get checks. Not as much as DIY, but no retail heartburn either. BTW, I'd prefer a smaller magnet. Mark Hi,
