1. Let your cars fuel tank get low, and then fill the car up completely with fuel. Now RESET your tripmeter!

2. Drive the car until the tank is almost empty, refuel the car completely and make a note of the litres purchased and the mileage covered.

open this as read only in excel and enter your figures

Fill tank to brim.
Reset trip computer.
At next fill-up, fill to brim again.
Note down miles covered between both fill-ups, and how much fuel need to brim tank on 2nd fill-up.
Take number of litres and divide by 4.546 = how many gallons you used.
Divde miles covered by number of gallons used = mpg.
