1. Determine the distance traveled. This can be done by using a trip odometer or by calculating the difference between the starting and ending odometer readings.
2. Measure the amount of fuel used. This can be done by using a fuel pump or by checking the fuel gauge before and after the trip.
3. Convert the distance and fuel measurements into consistent units. Make sure that both distance and fuel measurements are in the same units, such as miles and gallons or kilometers and liters.
4. Calculate the fuel consumption. Divide the distance traveled by the amount of fuel used. The result will be the fuel consumption in miles per gallon (mpg) or kilometers per liter (km/L).
Here's an example:
* Distance traveled: 200 miles
* Fuel used: 10 gallons
Fuel consumption = 200 miles / 10 gallons = 20 mpg
In this example, the car gets 20 miles per gallon of fuel.
