11.9.1 How to Calculate Fuel Efficiency (Mileage)
1. Ensure recommended tire pressure is maintained
2. Refuel your vehicle till the fuel gun at the fuel station is auto-
cut-off
3. Reset trip meter to zero
4. Drive at a moderate speed for a minimum distance of 150 km
5. Refuel at the same fuel station till the auto-cut-off mode
6. Assuming ‘a’ liters of fuel was filled and ‘b’ was the trip meter
reading. Fuel Efficiency = b/a kmpl
