Getting started
Fill up your fuel tank and go for a drive. You need to determine the updated average of miles per gallon before using these techniques to increase the fuel efficiency. Just note down the odometer before filling the tank and also read it when the gas is almost finished. You can add a fuel additive to run more miles per gallon. Be aware of how many gallons the gas tank has in your car to know the present miles per gallon ratio. For instance, 240 miles travelled on a 12 gallon tank gives you 20 miles per gallon (MPG). -
