Default Re: How do you calculate your MPG?

yeah the computer forgets to factor in when you park your car and its cooking under the sun while the gasoline vapors escapes, lowering your gas mileage. Some systems have a vapor recovery system where some of can be used instead of wasting it all into the atmosphere.

so hand calculation is what I look forward to, just get a recept and write the number of miles on it. Then enter it in the databases when one gets home.

.

i got around 20 km a liter when i drove a civic 5 spd using advanced hypermiler techniques
and now I drive a salvage nwh20 prius that gets almost to 25 km/l with 195,000 km to date.
