Fuel economy is an estimate of the efficiency of your vehicle, and
can be calculated as Miles Per Gallon (MPG) or Liters Per 100
Kilometers (L/100K).
Do not calculate fuel economy during your vehicle's break-in
period. This would not be an accurate estimate of how much fuel
your vehicle will normally use.
To calculate fuel economy:
1. Fill the fuel tank completely and record the initial odometer
reading.
2. Every time you buy fuel, record the amount (in gallons or
