Toronto. I reset the trip A on fill up and on the next fill up divide the liters I put in by the amount of km on the trip A.

This time around I went to 2 bars and if I remember correctly the trip was 270 or so...the number of liters that I put in was about the same as km traveled. Normally I go by half-tanks and on bad fillups like this it is around 210 km. On better fillups I get maybe 250.

The drivers here are pretty average. I almost never have to brake hard.

So to get 23.52 MPG (I trust you are using US MPG). You would need 10 L/100 KM .... which would give you about 375 KM for a tankful / assuming 37.5 Litres for a FILL.

I know this may be boring .... but there are websites like www.Fuelly.com which will make this much easier for you. You only have to enter your KM and LITRES .. and it will calculate your mileage for you. It will allow you to use L/100 Km or Imperial MPG or US MPG whatever your preference is. Have fun.
