Most people don't use a dedicated vehicle for business and a separate vehicle for errands, shopping, visiting places, and all other personal trips

The IRS expects people to keep detailed logs on vehicle mileage in the case where it is used for business, commuting to work, and personal reasons. Just making it up will be a problem. I see a lot of people who have a business that co mingle business and personal finances and expenses which can cause a lot of issues. If you decide to start your own business, you need to act like it.
