A tracking system for monitoring the use of a vehicle is provided. The tracking system includes a plurality of operational sensors, a location sensor and a data processing and recording device. The operational sensors are located within a vehicle for sensing a plurality of vehicle operating parameters and generating data signals indicative of values of the operating parameters. The vehicle location sensor determines the current location of the vehicle and generates a location signal in response thereto. During a trip, the data processing and recording device periodically samples the location signal and each of the data signals and produces data samples representative of the location signal from the location sensor and the magnitudes of the data signals from each of the operational sensors. Data may be recorded automatically, based on the input signals from the sensors, or may be manually input by the vehicle operator. At the conclusion of the trip, if the vehicle operator has not classified the trip to a specific business or personal account, the tracking system assigns a business or personal account to the trip based on the data stored in the data processing and recording device and the trip end location. A method for recording mileage traveled by a motor vehicle and attributing the mileage to a business or personal account is also provided.
