HOW TO MEASURE THE MPG OF YOUR INFINITI

Fuel economy is a very important part of the overall affordability of a vehicle. This relationship focuses on the distance that was traveled in comparison to the amount of fuel that a certain vehicle consumed during that trip. You can explain this relationship with a miles per gallon number, or MPG. INFINITI vehicles are very efficient and very affordable. Once you have invested in one, you may want to monitor your miles per gallon ratio in order to ensure you are getting the most out of each fill up at the gas station. Let’s take a closer look at how you can measure the miles per gallon of your INFINITI.

The Process

When it’s time to get gas, make sure you completely fill up your gas tank. You’ll want to reset your vehicle’s trip odometer, and record the number that is on your main odometer. You can go ahead and drive your vehicle wherever you need to go. Let your gas tank drop down to one half of a tank of fuel. You can let it go down further, but you want to make sure that you don’t run out of gas. When you fill up your tank again, record the volume of gas that you needed in order to fill up your tank. Also jot down the current odometer reading, and record how many miles accrued on your trip odometer.

Doing the Math

• Take the number of miles that you traveled from your trip odometer.
• Divide the miles that were traveled by the number of gallons that it took to refill your gas tank. This answer will provide you with your vehicle’s average miles per gallon yield.

Each time that you fill up your gas tank, you have the ability to calculate your miles per gallon number. You can take steps towards improving this number. If your fuel efficiency numbers are steadily decreasing, there could be an internal issue going on. It might be a good idea to contact our dealership to find out more about what could be going on.
