How to Check Your Car's Real Fuel Average
Dashboard fuel meters are not always correct. A better way is the full tank to full tank method: fill the tank completely, reset your trip meter, drive as usual until the tank is nearly empty, then fill it again and divide the kilometers driven by the litres used.
