Ben -
To correctly guage fuel mileage , you should start out with a full tank and
the tripometer set to 0 .
Then drive whatever distance , stop , then re-fill the tank to the same
amount , or the same fashion (topping off) as you did the last time .
Now divide the miles driven by the gallons you bought the second time .
Chances are you may have had a bit extra fuel left in there the last time
you fueled .
