Fill the fuel tank until the nozzle automatically clicks off.

Reset trip counter to zero.

Record the total gallons (liters) needed to refill.

Follow one of the simple calculations above.

The A/C

puts an extra load on the engine
which makes it use more fuel.
Use the fresh-air ventilation
when possible.

Combine several short trips into
one. A warmed-up engine is more
fuel efficient than a cold one.

Direct calculation is the
recommended source of information
about your actual fuel economy.
Using frequency of fill-ups or taking
fuel gauge readings are NOT
accurate measures of fuel economy.
Fuel economy may improve over the
first several thousand miles
(kilometers).
