So if you see a position today and a few days later try to match up the same position you may very well be talking about 4-5ltrs of more or less fuel. Now its for you to work out how much of a difference that can make to your calculations. There is a similar way (to your way) available to measure the FE. It may not be possible to do for most people though. If you have a very fixed regime and know the exact kms that you drive everyday then you can take the middle of the fuel gauge line as the base. fill up the car and then keep driving till the needle comes back exactly on the middle of the gauge to cover the half-way mark. Now find out from the no. of days how many kms you have driven for the fuel that you filled up the last time. On both occassions ensure that the car is parked on a completely flat stretch (no slopes). | |

the best possible way to measure is to fill up your car upto the mark when fuel nozzle sensor automatically cuts off fuel supply, note km if possible set trip meter to zero use car for some days, the longer the better then agian fill from same pump upto the mark where sensor cuts off fuel supply, note reading & fuel filled final reading - intial reading will give you total distance travelled divide it by amount of fuel put in & you will get fuel efficiency | |

The best is to fill it to the brim... wait a few secs.. and the fuel goes in... and fill again. This is exactly what ACI guys followed for their FE tests. I have ALWAYS filled it to the brim .... and in years I have become so used to it that I know how much fuel should go in...... the max variation has been 0.5L. FE for my wagonR has been from 10-16.2 in city always with some a/c... it just depends where I go.. coz I don't have a fixed destination for long. On highways.... 12-16 is what I can remember ... ... (you go out for fun, you tend to drive hard and enjoy) | |

| ![]() How i Calculate FE on fiesta ? Filled it with diesel of rs 1500 around 45.45 ltrs. the car ran 990 kms. when i got it filled again. where as the DTE in car was telling that it go another 10 km. So FE came around 22. This is fully in city and very light footed. no races. Pure driving like i am a driver of a Limousine.. ![]() |

| ![]() Though i think best way to calculate FE is fill your car upto brim. Drive around 100 KM and then again fill it. And see how many litres it got filled again and calculate the FE. |

| ![]() Filling up to brim or auto-cut off point is the best way. But you have to make sure that air is removed from the tank. For that you have to put your rear car wheel on the fuel cap side on the ramp or push the car rear up and down lightly. RK |
