Gas Mileage Calculator

Interested in knowing how to calculate gas mileage? Simply follow the steps below: 

1. Take a look at your owner’s manual to find the fuel tank capacity of your vehicle. Fully fill up the gas tank fully and either reset your trip odometer or record the exact mileage after fueling up. 
2. Drive your car as you normally would on the roads of Dededo. 
3. Refill your tank and record your mileage. Keep in mind that the longer you wait to refuel your vehicle, the more accurate your calculations will be. This is because you’ll experience a better mix of diving conditions around Yigo.
4. Divide the number of miles traveled by how many gallons of gas were needed to refuel the car.
