Fuel Economy
*
[SV12450(ALL)05/95]
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).
*
[SV12460(ALL)05/95]
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.
*
[SV12475(ALL)05/95]
To calculate fuel economy:
*
[SV12505(ALL)05/95]1.
Fill the fuel tank completely and record the initial odometer
reading.
*
[SV12550(ALL)05/95]2.
Every time you buy fuel, record the amount (in gallons or
liters) purchased.
*
[SV12605(ALL)05/95]3.
After at least 3-5 tankfuls, fill the fuel tank and record the
final odometer reading.
*
[SV12650(ALL)10/95]4.
Use these equations to calculate your fuel economy:
