Gas Mileage Data?

Question

I have collected the following info for my last 5 fill-ups. What can you tell me about my milage,mpg, etc... from this info? Is there anything else useful besides MPG? Thanks.


Date Fill $ Amt Gallons Odometer

04/25 ----- $31.93 ----- 11.409 ----- 302.9
05/03 ----- $33.78 ----- 11.534 ----- 312.7
05/11 ----- $35.56 ----- 11.936 ----- 311.5
05/18 ----- $35.92 ----- 11.742 ----- 308.3
05/29 ----- $34.38 ----- 11.276 ----- 276.6

Answer 1

miles per gallon:
average mpg = 26.1
maximum mpg = 27.1
minimum mpg = 24.5

price per gallon of gas
average = $2.96
maximum = $3.06
minimum = $2.80

price per distance traveled
average = 11.4 cents per mile
maximum = 12.4 cents per mile
minimum = 10.5 cents per mile

In 34 days you drove 1512 miles
So on average you drive 44.5 miles per day
In a year, you'll likely put 16,200 miles on your vehicle.

Answer 2

Just take the miles you went and divide it by the gallons, then you get your average mpg for that fill up.

EX: 4/25: 302.9 / 11.409 = roughly 26.5 mpg

Could also figure out how much the gas is costing per gallon but you should see that when you fill up :)

EX: 31.93 / 11.409 = 2.79

Man gas cost $3.25 for regular where I live :(
Thats about all you can figure out from those numbers.

Answer 3

Looks like the car typically gets around 26.5mpg except that last week. On that last week it looks like you either drove it harder, idled more, used the AC more, or it needs some maintenance. Check it again next fillup and see if it goes back up to the 26-27mpg range. If not, change your air filter and see if that helps.

To get mpg simply divide miles by gallons.

Answer 4

On average you get about 26mpg, which is what I get on my 96 Jeep Grand Cherokee, so whatever model your driving you not doing too bad that is unless you have a jeep with a 4 cylinder then well, I think I'd upgrade to a 6 cylinder.
