How to Accurately Measure Mileage

  1. Fill the tank completely (note odometer reading)
  2. Drive normally until tank is 50-75% empty
  3. Fill tank again — note litres filled and current odometer
  4. Mileage = Distance driven ÷ Litres filled
Mileage = Distance (km) ÷ Fuel consumed (litres) Example: 300 km driven, filled 18L → Mileage = 300/18 = 16.67 km/L
