only way top off the tank drive the car top off again take actual mileage and actual fuel driven all other ways are a guess .........as fuel gauges are approximate not actual ..if you are just asking to see how well we do math we need to know the capacity of the tank

You need to know the size of the tank. If 3/4 of a tank gets you 600 km. Theoretically, a full tank would get you 800km, assuming that your gauges are all correct. Then you take the 800km and divide it by the number of liters in your tank. Presto, through the magic of math you have your answer. Another way that you can do this if you don't know the size of your tank is to first zero out your trip odometer next time you fill your tank. Then the time after that when you fill up, use the number from your trip odometer and divide it by the number of liters that you put in your tank. Make sure you fill the tank both times to get accurate numbers. It's a simple math equation of km/L. Hope this helps

The tank size because if you know that you can then work out the km/l (i.e a 100L tank uses 75 litres to go 600km if you divide 75 by 600 you will find your km/L)
