Re: [T3] Automatic gas mileage?


Fill tank.  Write down mileage and how many liters or
gallons you put in.  Drive.  Repeat 2-3 times.  The
average of the amount of fuel in and the total mileage
accumulated will be a reasonably accurate measure of
fuel economy.  Calibrating your odometer using a
handheld GPS or the like will help in the accuracy
dept.
