If you take time to compare the rates auto insurance companies offer, you will realize that they may vary as greatly as a few hundred dollars. Though each state's regulations and policies do play a certain role in th... Read more

Figuring out your gas mileage yourself is very easy to do, and if you remember this simple method you can figure it out for yourself every time you fill up your tank.
First, you need to figure out the number of miles between each fill-up. Second, you will figure out how much gas was used. Finally, you will estimate your gas mileage, using only simple math. To get started, you will need a calculator, a piece of paper, and pen or pencil. Step 1: Completely fill-up your gas tank. Step 2: Reset your trip odometer back to zero. If you are unable to do this, then write down the mileage of your car. Step 3: Drive around normally until it's time to put gas in your car. Step 4: When the tank is almost empty, fill it back up with gas. Step 5: Now you need to figure out the number of miles between the two fill-ups. If you reset your trip odometer, note the number of miles you have driven since resetting it. If you wrote down your car's mileage on paper, subtract that number from the current mileage on your car. This is the number of miles you have driven between the last two fill-ups. On the piece of paper, write down this number. NOTE: Keep in mind that most of the time, the number you write down in step 5 should be between 100-500 miles. If you've driven a lot more or a lot less, there might be a problem with your math (or you're getting really good mileage). Step 6: Now you need to figure out how much gas you have used. Check the gas pump for the number of gallons of gas you just pumped. This is the amount of gas you used since your last fill-up. Be sure to write down this number, including a few numbers past the decimal point. Step 7: Now, on your calculator, divide the number of miles you drove between fill-ups by the number of gallons of gas you used (The number in Step 5 divided by the number in Step 6). This equals your gas mileage! If you're driving a truck or large SUV, your mileage should be between 12 and 20. If you're driving a small SUV or a large car, your mileage should be between 18 and 25. If you're driving a mid-size or compact car, your mileage should be between 25 and 35. If you're driving a scooter, your mileage should be really good and you shouldn't worry about it. Also, if you car's mileage is a lot more or a lot less than we've listed, there might be something wrong with your math or your car.
