Calculating fuel economy

1. Fill the fuel tank completely and record the initial

odometer reading (in kilometers or miles).

2. Each time you fill the tank, record the amount of

fuel added (in liters or gallons).

3. After at least three to five tank fill-ups, fill the

fuel tank and record the current odometer reading.

4. Subtract your initial odometer reading from the

current odometer reading.

5. Follow one of the simple calculations in order to

determine fuel economy:

Calculation 1: Multiply liters used by 100, then

divide by total kilometers traveled.

Calculation 2: Divide total miles traveled by

total gallons used.

Keep a record for at least one month and record the

type of driving (city or highway). This will provide

an accurate estimate of the vehicle’s fuel economy

under current driving conditions. Additionally,

keeping records during summer and winter will show

how temperature impacts fuel economy. In general,

lower temperatures give lower fuel economy.

Driving style — good driving and fuel economy

habits

Give consideration to the lists that follow and you

may be able to change a number of variables and

improve your fuel economy.

Habits

• Smooth, moderate operation can yield up to 10%

savings in fuel.

• Steady speeds without stopping will usually give

the best fuel economy.

• Idling for long periods of time (greater than one

minute) may waste fuel.

• Anticipate stopping; slowing down may eliminate

the need to stop.
