there are basically 2 methods
1) tank full to tank full:- Means fill it full --then drive around as much as you like-- note the millage--- fill it up to tank full again and see how many liters. now divide millage by liters of fuel to get the average
2) tank empty to tank empty:- drive till the tank is empty, then fill it with say 5 liters and then again drive till tank empty and note the millage. divide millage by fuel filled that is 5 ltrs in this example.
Try anyone that suits you and get back to us. Most people say No-1 suits them more.
And BTW it took me more time guessing what you meant than actually answering.

in most modern vehicle a trip meter is given on the dashboard meter. the dashboard meter normally shows the current kilometer reading. there is a small black coloured knob comming out of the dash board meter. if you press it once it will show trip A and reading 0.0 to calculate average of the vehicle you have to fill the fuel tank to full capacity and make the trip meter reading 0.0 then you go for a long drive and comeback and fill the fuel tank again full and note down the amount of fuel filled. finnally divide the trip km with the amount of fuel that was filled/used up to get the average.
in some old cars if no trip meter is there and you have a carburettor vehicle then do the following procedure. fill a bottle with 1 litre petrol.take a small rubber pipe of length approx 2 to 2.5 mts. put one end of pipe in the petrol bottle.remove the carborator inlet pipe and put the other end of rubber pipe to the carburettor inlet. also remove the fuel return pipe and fix another rubber pipe of 2.5 mts length to fuel return and put other end in fuel bottle. you can sit holding the petrol bottle in the front seat of the car while somebody drives the car. drive until the whole 1 litre fuel gets used up. note down the initial and final reading of km.
note: the pipes can go upto the carburettor via holes under the dashboard.
also fuel inlet will suck the petrol out of the bottle and fuel return will send back unused fuel to the bottle.
you better have a experienced mechanic to assist you when you do this.
hope this helped you out

Fill your tank to the max. Take the Odometer reading. The next time you fill up your tank to the max check how many litres of fuel went in. Take the second odometer reading.
so second reading minus the first reading divided by the litres to make full the second time gives you the average. There is no other accurate point in between full and empty like you have the reserve setting on a bike

Your question really does not make any sense. The average what of his car?
