Tracking fuel economy

Calculating mileage between fill-ups reveals your car's real efficiency, which often differs from the official rating and changes with driving style, load, and conditions. Fill the tank, note the distance to the next fill, and divide. Watching this figure over time can flag maintenance issues or wasteful habits.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I measure fuel used?

Fill the tank, reset your trip meter, then refill at the next stop. The fuel added is what you used over that trip distance.

Why is my mileage worse than the official figure?

Official figures come from controlled tests. City driving, cold weather, heavy loads, and aggressive acceleration all lower real-world economy.
