How Easy Is Calculating Gas Mileage?

One of the most common questions is - how do I go about calculating gas mileage? With gas prices rising almost every day and gas mileage in cars reducing due to many larger cars, SUV’s, and trucks on the road. Actually, calculating gas mileage can also be done in a very simple way.

A simple, but very helpful way to calculate gas mileage is to begin by filling up the gas tank fully. Once the tank is full, reset your trip odometer and drive your vehicle until the tank is close to empty. Provided you know exactly how large your gas tank is, fill up at a gas station until your tank is absolutely full again. Now, calculating gas mileage is all a matter of jotting down the total number of miles driven divided by total number of gallons of gas you just put in your tank.
