Are you trying to get a handle on gas mileage? Learning how to calculate gas mileage can go a long way toward optimizing your car’s fuel efficiency. Our service department wants to help you keep your Myrtle Beach commute economical, so we’ve put together the helpful guide below. We’ll also talk about how to use a gas mileage calculator.
Try recording your odometer reading before filling up. After pumping gas, note the number of gallons it took to fill your tank. Then record your odometer reading the next time you have to fill up. Subtract your first odometer reading from the second to get the number of miles driven since your last fill-up. Finally, divide the miles driven by the number of gallons used. This will give you your average miles per gallon for that tank of gas. For even greater accuracy, perform this calculation every time you fill up and average the mpg over several tanks.
You can find a gas mileage calculator online or a similar app from your app store to help you calculate your gas mileage. A gas mileage calculator basically uses the same method as outlined above to calculate fuel economy. You enter all the same information into the calculator, and it does the math.
