[edit] Steps

  • Fill your fuel tank completely full and set your trip meter or record your odometer
  • Drive untill your tank is near empty
  • Fill your tank completely full again, record the amount of fuel you pumped, call this number "gallons"
    • Note: For this method to work you must fill fuel your tank completely each time.
  • If you are using odometer readings then subtract your current odometer reading from the reading you took earlier, or use the number on your trip meter, call this number "miles"
  • perform the following calculation:


MPG = miles / gallons


Where MPG is miles per gallon, miles is the miles traveled, and gallons are the gallons used.
