Best Answer

One method would be to fill the fuel tank, top it off, then drive a certain distance, at least thirty miles, the more the better. Return to the point of origin, refill the tank, top it off. You now have a distance and the amount of furl it required. The rest is simple division.

How do you calculate how much fuel you will use?

You need to know the vehicle's average economy and have an estimate of how many miles you plan on driving.To calculate the car's average fuel economy, you need to fill the tank and write down the vehicle's mileage and then drive it until empty (using your normal driving habits). when you fill the tank again, get the mileage and subtract the first mileage reading from that. Take that number and divide it by the number of gallons you purchased and that will tell you the car's average mileage.*(Mileage 1- Mileage 2)/ gallons= average fuel economy*To calculate future fuel usage, take your average economy and multiply that by the number of miles you plan on driving.*average fuel economy X estimated miles= estimated future fuel usage*

What causes reduced mileage?

I'm assuming that you are asking about fuel mileage. Reduced fuel mileage is mostly caused by under inflated tires. 32 psi for the Toyota Echo tires is required. Don't buy fuel boosters or fuel cleaners because they don't work.
