Work out your vehicle's real MPG from miles driven and gallons used — plus cost per mile at the current gas price.
Measure over a full tank for accuracy. A single tank varies; average several fill-ups for your true MPG. Estimate only.
Fill the tank, drive, note the miles, then refill and note the gallons. Miles divided by gallons is your actual MPG for that tank — usually more honest than the sticker number.
MPG = miles driven ÷ gallons used
EPA figures are lab estimates. Cold weather, short trips, cargo, and aggressive driving all lower real-world mileage.
Steady speeds, proper tire pressure, less idling, and lighter loads all help. Track a few tanks to see what moves the number.
