Why Calculate Your Gas Mileage?

Calculating your car’s gas mileage regularly can help you:

  • Monitor your vehicle’s health and performance.
  • Identify any sudden drops in fuel efficiency that could indicate maintenance needs.
  • Plan your fuel budget more accurately.
  • Make environmentally conscious South County driving decisions.

How to Use a Gas Mileage Calculator

Using a gas mileage calculator is straightforward. Here’s how you can do it in three simple steps:

  1. Fill Up Your Tank: Start by filling your vehicle’s fuel tank to full and note the odometer reading or reset your trip meter.
  2. Drive: Use your vehicle as usual until it’s time for the next fill-up.
  3. Calculate: At your next fill-up, note how many gallons of gas you add to reach a full tank again, along with the new odometer reading or the trip meter’s total miles.

With this information, you can calculate your car’s gas mileage using the formula: Miles Per Gallon (MPG) = Total Miles Driven / Total Gallons of Gas Used

Tips for Improving Your Gas Mileage

  • Keep your Genesis in top condition with regular check-ups.
  • Ensure your tires are properly inflated according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.
  • Remove unnecessary items from your trunk or roof rack to lighten your car.
  • Avoid sudden starts and stops, and maintain a steady speed on the Oakville highway.
  • When appropriate, using cruise control can help maintain a constant speed and save gas.
