The easiest is to start a given time period (say a week of a month) with a full tank of gas. Record the odometer reading. This will be your starting miles. Throughout your time period, record the cost and gallons for each gas stop. On the last day of your time period, fill up your tank one last time, record this too, and now record the odometer again for your ending miles. You now need to know the following:

Total Miles (Ending Miles - Starting Miles)

Total Gallons

Total Cost

# of days

Follow the calculations below to find each average:

Avg Miles per Gallon = Total Miles / Total Gallons

Avg Cost per Day = Total Cost / # of Days

Avg Cost per Gallon = Total Cost / Total Gallons

Avg Cost per Mile = Total Cost / Total Miles
