How to Calculate Fuel Average Correctly
Many people calculate the fuel average incorrectly like I used to do before someone taught me the correct way, which I found is among the best ways to calculate it. Here is the correct way to calculate the fuel economy of cars.
- Fill the tank to the top.
- Note down your mileage (reading on the odometer) or reset the trip meter.
- Next time you visit the petrol station, get the tank filled to the top (at the same level as before).
- Note the reading (km) on the trip meter or subtract the current reading from the previous reading (km).
- Note the number of litres.
- Divide the number of kilometres by the litres of petrol you purchased (km/l).
- You will get km/l of your car since the last time you filled up the tank.
