I know I have an 11 gallon tank, and I know what I should be getting for MPG. Based on these factors, and using a conservative number for MPG, it is easy to calculate a realistic range for one tank of gas. When I get near that number of miles, I know it is time to fill-up.

I don't enjoy trying to get every possible mile out of a tank of gas before filling-up. I don't see the purpose in that.

So you are getting your mpg by dividing your miles from your trip od. by 11?
