Odometer Method - KMPL can be calculated in four easy steps:

Step 1. Filling the vehicle's gas tank completely and writing down the vehicle's odometer reading (mileage). Example: The last time the tank was filled, the odometer reading was 4,645 Km. Step 2. When it's time to refuel, filling the tank completely and writing down the number of gallons it took to fill the tank and the vehicle's new odometer reading. Once two odometer readings are taken, MPG can be calculated. Example: The next time the tank was filled, the odometer reading was 5,045Km, it took 20 Lts to fill the tank. Step 3. Calculating the distance driven by subtracting the previous odometer reading from the new one. Example: The distance driven would be 5,045 minus 4,645, or 400Kms. Step 4. Dividing the number of miles driven by the number of lts it took to fill the tank. The result is the vehicle's KMPL for that driving period. Example: 600Kms divided by 20Lts equals 20Km per lt The KMPL for that driving period would be 20.0

Alternate Method If you use your vehicle's trip odometer, KMPL can be calculated by:

Step 1. Filling the vehicle's gas tank completely and re-setting the trip odometer. Note: Sometimes it's easy to get the main odometer and trip odometer readings confused, especially if the vehicle is new. Step 2. When it's time to re-fuel Filling the tank completely Writing down the number of gallons it took to fill the tank Writing down the mileage on the trip odometer Re-setting the trip odometer Example: It took 9.5 Lts to completely fill the tank, and the trip odometer reads 167 Kms. Step 3. Dividing the number of miles driven by the number of lts it took to fill the tank. The result is the vehicle's KMPL for that driving period. Example: 167 Kms divided by 9.5 lts equals 17.58 Kms per liter.
