Gas Mileage Calculator

Not sure about the gas mileage for your vehicle? That’s okay! We cover how to calculate gas mileage below: 

1. Fully fill up your tank of gas and either reset your trip odometer or record the exact mileage after refilling. You will need to know how much fuel your vehicle holds. You can find this information in your owner’s manual. 
2. Drive your car the same way you do every day. Keep in mind that if you accelerate more briskly or slowly or drive differently, it could affect your calculations. 
3. Refill your tank and record your mileage. The longer you wait to refill, the more accurate your calculation will be. This is because you will experience a better mix of driving situations. 
4. You will need to divide the number of miles traveled by the number of gallons of gas your vehicle took to refill.
