Automobile fuel prices are constantly rising, and knowledge of fuel consumption is becoming a necessity. Calculating fuel consumption is fairly easy if your odometer is working properly and you can count.

Steps

1. 1 Record the mileage the next time you refuel the car. Fill the tank and write the number down on the odometer, the meter that shows the mileage. Let's call it “A”.
2. 2 Next time you need to refuel, refill the tank and see the odometer. Write it down. Let's call this number “B”. Also record the amount of fuel used.
3. 3 Subtract the number “A” from the number “B” to calculate the distance traveled. Divide this result by the amount of fuel spent.
4. 4 Divide the number of kilometers by the amount of fuel you filled up with (assuming you filled a full tank both times).
   • Example: Let's say the odometer shows 99,000 during the first refueling.
   • During the second refueling, it already shows 99,400.
   • It used 20 liters of fuel.
   • 99,400 - 99,000 = you have driven 400 kilometers. 400/20 = 20 kilometers per liter (k / l).

Tips

• Most modern cars allow you to reset the counter showing the number of kilometers traveled. If you do this every time you fill up, you won't have to subtract your total mileage. Then you just need to divide the number on the odometer by the amount of fuel consumed.
• Do not use air conditioning in your vehicle.
• Change the engine air filter.
• For more tips, search for “hyper run”.
• Observe the speed limit.
• Make sure your tires are inflated according to the manufacturer's recommendations.
• Avoid abrupt starts.

Warnings

• Use a calculator to avoid arithmetic errors.
