Seriously, I still keep in my car's glove compartment a circular slide rule that I use to calculate and record gas mileage at every fill-up.
Anyone else notice that social norms have changed so much now that few people can do simple math, on paper or in their heads? So many times at a checkout counter I find the clerk cannot do change - he / she can only read the computer terminal screen and count out whatever it says. If it's wrong for whatever reason (they may not even realize it), major catastrophe!
