An onboard electronic system for logging and reporting driver activity and operation data of a vehicle. The system incorporates an onboard recorder operatively connected to a data bus of the vehicle and configured to continuously electronically monitor and obtain vehicle operation data including vehicle fuel consumption data and vehicle mileage data. A transmitter is adapted for transmitting the vehicle operation data from the onboard recorder to a remote terminal outside of the vehicle. Data processing software is operable for generating a fuel data report using the vehicle operation data, and determining based on the fuel data report whether a driver satisfies a vehicle operation requirement established by an authority.
