Gas Mileage Calculator
Calculate your car's fuel efficiency by entering two odometer readings and the amount of fuel added to your tank during that interval.
How to Improve Gas Mileage
- Drive Efficiently: Avoid aggressive driving. Smooth acceleration and braking can improve mileage by 15-30%.
- Maintain Optimal Speed: For most gas vehicles, fuel efficiency peaks around 55 MPH (90 km/h). Using cruise control on highways helps maintain a constant speed.
- Check Your Tires: Properly inflated tires can improve gas mileage by up to 3%. Ensure they are inflated to the pressure recommended by your car's manufacturer.
- Reduce Weight: Remove unnecessary heavy items from your car. The lighter the vehicle, the less energy is required to move it.
- Improve Aerodynamics: Open windows and roof racks increase drag, especially at highway speeds. Roll up windows to reduce resistance.
- Avoid Unnecessary Idling: An idling car gets 0 MPG. Turn off the engine if you're stopped for more than a minute.
- Keep Your Vehicle Tuned: Regular maintenance, such as using the recommended motor oil and replacing clogged air filters, keeps your engine running efficiently.
