Calculate Fuel Efficiency Correctly

If you own and drive a car, it's useful to know how much fuel your car consumes so that you can take the necessary steps to reduce excessive fuel consumption. This article will show you how to calculate your car's fuel economy so that you can compare your fuel economy over time.
How do I calculate my car's fuel economy?
Calculating your car's fuel consumption is easy if you know the distance travelled and the amount of fuel used to travel that distance. Here's what you need to do,
  • Fill up your tank with fuel
  • Record your current mileage as displayed on your odometer. If your car has a trip odometer, reset it to zero.
  • Drive your car normally until you need to fill up again
  • When the fuel tank is empty, fill it up
  • Record how much fuel you used
  • Use your trip odometer to see how many kilometres you have travelled since your last fill up. If you don't have a trip odometer, record the latest odometer reading and subtract the first odometer reading to determine how far you have driven,
  • To work out how many kilometres your car drives on one litre of fuel simply divide the total distance travelled by the total litres of fuel used. Example: 400 km / 42 litres = 9.5 km's per litre.
  • To find what your car's fuel economy is (Metric System), multiply the amount of fuel used by 100 and divide that by the total kilometres driven. Example: 42 litres x 100 / 400 = 10.5 litres / 100km.
