The best way to approximate your Gas mileage is by doing this: Let your tank get to nearly empty, and then fill it completely. Write down or make note of how many gallons it took to fill your car. Then, reset your tripometer (or write down where the mileage was on your speedometer if you don't have a tripometer). Drive until your tank is empty again. Then, see how many miles you were able to go. Divide the number of miles by the number of gallons it takes to fill your tank, and you will have an approximation of your gas mileage.

When you fill up your gas tank, write down the current milage on the odometer. The next time you fill up, pay attention to exactly how many gallons of gas it took to refill the tank, and how many miles you've travelled since the last fillup. Divide the number of miles by number of gallons (miles/gallons) to get miles-per-gallon. For example: On Monday you top off your tank. Your odometer reads 520 miles. On Friday, you top off your tank again, which takes 5 gallons of gas, and your odometer now reads 580. That means you travelled 60 miles with 5 gallons of gas. Your gas milage = 60/5 = 12 miles per gallon. (Holy crap, that's awful, what kind of car are you driving anyway??) If you carefully track your number of gallons and odometer readings every time you fill up, you can keep a running tally of you gas milage.

miles driven divided by amount of gas needed to drive that far.

Just reset your odometer to 0, fill the tank and drive until near empty do this once for city and highway.

Depends on how many beans you eat. Now for you car or truck etc: I would say keep track on the miles you drive between refilling. I fill mine till the pump kicks off. Then drive fifty or more miles & always go back to that very same pump, were I got my gas from before. And always set the pump at the slow speed. As long as no one else is pumping fuel at the same time I am. The pump should kick off at the same place as it did before. If I ran fifty miles & the pump shuts off at five gallons. Then I know I was getting ten miles per gallons. P.S. The only way I can do this with out others pumping their fuel at the same time, that can cause my pump to kick off. Is do to I drive most at night & early mornings, when there are less around. One more little hint. If you pump your fuel slow like I stated. You will get more for your money. Many are always in a rat race. They pump their fuel as fast as it will go. Thats fine, but you most likely get less gas, do to the air that will come with it....Just though I'd share that with ya. GOOD LUCK........M.C.S.
