How do you guys measure your MPG?

Here is how mine works. The first gas light comes on when I have about 2.5 gallons left. I've filled it up several times right around when the first light comes on and it usually takes 8.5-9 gallons. If you continue to drive for awhile with the gas light on and you use enough, the gasoline pump light will eventually start flashing. I believe it also chimes when it does that as well. It comes on with around 1 gallon left. I've done it once or twice before, it took around 11 gallons to fill it up.

But you miss-typed your calculation of mileage. It's actually (miles taveled on gas used) / (gas used). Miles "per" (in other words, "divided by") gallon. Easily caught when you do the math, as going 300 miles on 15 gallons using your formula would yield 15/300, or about 0.05mpg. Would actually be 20mpg.

I was basically just saying, don't go on a road trip or something and get yourself out in the country where gas stations aren't on every street corner and have it go that low. Thats all I'm saying. I have no problem rolling around town on little to no gas because like you said there is gas stations all over the place here.
