Hey Metro XFI ... a question for you
Metro XFI,
I was wondering how you know how far to drive before you stop and put exactly 1 gallon of gas in each time? Do you use a Scangauge and some kind of digital fuel level meter? It just seems that it would be hard to fill the tank to the same place each time and such a short distance traveled would seem to leave alot of room for error. More distance traveled and the resulting increase of fuel consumed would allow you to average out any inaccuracies. |
Hmmm... I think you mean CoyoteX.
View this vehicle's gaslog I bet what he's doing is saving the hassle of entering his full details. He probably calculates his MPG on his fuel receipt, then enters that calculation and "1" gallon. I don't think it's that he's adding only a gallon each time. Just my guess. |
yep I'm lazy :)
I usually keep a small notebook in the car with odometer and gallons used. I figure out my mileage when I fill up but by the time I get back to a computer I dont remember the miles and gallons so I just put the mpg in. It almost always is around 8 gallons filling up so it doesn't really change the average. I posted a csv around here somewhere of the entire record of miles and gallons used but I can't find it. One of these days:rolleyes: I will go back and edit the entries but I never seem to get around to it. |
be nice if I only actually needed like 5 gallons of gas in the last few months :)
|
Makes sense now............ I was really wondering how you could predict how far you were gonna go on a gallon :rolleyes: It would be great to only need a gallon a month!
