How many mpg does your car get?

And I'm not talking about listed specs. I'm talking about ACTUAL mpg in YOUR normal driving routine.

Anyway, I decided to test this out just out of curiosity. I waited until my tank got low on gas. I then filled up my gas tank. I then recorded how many gallons I put in my tank, and my odometer reading. Then I kept driving as usual.

When my gas guage reched the same level as before my last gasoline refill, I checked the new odometer reading. I then subtracted from that te last recorded odometer reading. I then took the difference, and divided that by the number of gallons I last put into my car.

Assuming that the meter at the gas station was correct, and that my odometer is correct, and that my fuel guage is correct, I am getting approximately 31 mpg. Not great, but that will do.

Has any of you ever done this? Calculated a rough estimate of the mpg you'rte getting in YOUR unique driving conditions? If so, what mpg did YOU come up with?

I did in once when I got my new(er) car. 2002 Chevy Cavalier, it was about 34 if I remember correctly.

I kinda did it with my last car too, but in a different way. It was a 1991 BMW 318is, as usual, the odometer stopped working before I even drove it. But I didn't drive it around much when I first got it, so I pretty much new all the distances I drove it, and all that, and how much time it took me to fill up my tank, and everything, I figured it was about 32 mpg. It also had a gage that told how many mpg your getting when your driving it, although it wasn't 100% accurate.

I don't know the exact mileage as I don't keep the receipts when I get gas, but I do know how many miles I can go without having to fill up. On a full tank I normally get around 400 miles before I have to visit the gas station again. I think that's pretty good.
