How do you figure out my mpg? I just did a long road trip in my hoe and I want to know what my mpg is.

Check your odometer before you start, check your odometer after your trip is over, divide your miles traveled by how many gallons you just put in to fill back up.

I put in 28 gal and drove 421 miles on one tank doing average 75 all interstate and stoping only once for food and rest stop. So what you think my mpg would be?

421 divided by 28 = 15.03 mpg
Sounds about right for that speed.

Fill it all the way up
Trip Odometer to zero
Drive
Fill up completely again
Divide miles driven by the gallons of gas used


I can get 17-18 mpg if I drive around 70 mph, 15-16 if I'm going 75-80 on the interstate. :)
