  • Fill up your fuel tank all the way
  • Reset the trip odometer
  • Drive your car as you normally would and let your fuel tank deplete
  • Fill up your fuel tank all the way again
  • Record the amount of fuel it took to refill the tank
  • Look at the number of miles on the trip odometer
Here comes the tricky part ....

Divide the number of miles on the trip odometer but the number of gallons/liters off your fuel receipt. This yields your MPG or MPL.
