How to compute for gas consumption

Hi Gibs,

Just wanna ask you this question. What is the proper way of measuring the gas consumption of a car?
Pete Gamboa

Dear Pete,

Fill the car tank to the brim till it overflows. Reset the odometer to zero zero zero and run the car 'till you run almost empty and see the actual run distance. Ten go fill up the tank and divide the distance by the total liters. Example, your full tank is 45 liters and you ran a total of 190kms, then 190 kms divide by 45 liters that's gonna be 4.2kms per liter. That simple Pete.
