How much gas did you buy?hat was the mileage before fillup and after it was empty? You need the numbers to complete the eqaution.
Here is a way to calculate mpg. I copied it from a search. There are other methods used too.
To calculate fuel economy, start with a full tank; note the odometer (odometer #1) reading. Drive the vehicle normally and note the use mix (city, highway, or city-highway mixed). When the fuel gauge reaches approximately ¼, refill the tank and note the odometer (odometer #2) reading. Subtract odometer #1 from odometer #2; divide the result by the number of gallons purchased. One significant decimal place is sufficient. Examples: Odometer reads 30,455 when the tank is first filled. The vehicle is driven until the fuel gauge reads ¼ ; the odometer reads 30,723. It took 12.7 gallons to fill the tank again. Subtract the 30,455 from 30,723 and divide the result by the 12.7. [30,723 - 30,455 = 268]
Mind you this is w/ stock size tires used. if bigger tires are used and the PCM was not hacked into for OD and speedo adjustments, all calculations will be off.
