these are not accurate figures, only full-to-full with ltrs to fill and mileage covered can be relied on, use the link previous to get the proper mpg, and it takes 5+ tankfulls to achieve an average.

Also include any relevent details ie. body type, engine size type of driving and if you think your speedo is accurate, which was why I reposted the instructions!

It's simple all the instructions are on the first page.
