About This Calculator

This calculator computes your vehicle's real-world fuel economy in miles per gallon (MPG), based on the miles you drove and the gallons of fuel used to cover that distance — useful for tracking whether your car is performing as expected or comparing against the EPA-estimated rating.

How This Is Calculated

MPG = Miles Driven ÷ Gallons Used

Driving 300 miles on 10 gallons gives 30 MPG.

Assumptions

  • Assumes the gallons entered fully filled the tank from empty to the point where miles were measured.

Frequently Asked Questions

Fill your tank completely, reset your trip odometer, drive normally, then fill up again completely and record the gallons used. That gallon amount is what you used over the miles shown on your trip odometer.
