Then go out and drive atleast 100 miles before filling up again. When you do fill up, go back to the same gas station and the SAME PUMP as well. Fill the car up again and write down how many gallons went in. ( make sure to let the pump auto-stop when filling up! do not top it off) Once you have that figure you can check your odometer, and then do your formula. It's best to do this a few times to get a real average number.<br><b>References : </b><br> You should go to the gas station nearest your home and fill the tank.

You used the proper equation to find your MPG. You have obtained the "overall" fuel mileage. You can do the same with driving strictly on freeways for at least 100 miles, at steady speeds, to find your highway milage.<br><b>References : </b><br> MPG is based on fuel consumption and has nothing to do with the tank size.

Even though your gas tank technically holds 17.2 gallons, due to the shape and configuration of the tank, you may only have 15 or 16 gallons of useable volume.<br><b>References : </b><br> That is the best way to calculate actual mileage.
