-Wait until your fuel meter is exactly on one of the white markings.
-Write down the current odometer reading.
-Find out how many gallons your tank holds (lets say 10 gallons).
-Drive around like you normally would, watching the fuel meter.
-When it has gone down exactly 1/4 of the way (indicated by the number of white marks, if there are 8 marks, wait until it has gone down two marks) write down the current odometer reading.
-Subtract the first reading from the second reading.
-Since the tank holds 10 gallons, 10/4 is 2.5, so in this time, you used 2.5 gallons of gas. But we're trying to find out how far you went on one gallon.
-So divide the result of subtracting the two reading by 2.5
-Divide this result by 2.5 and you should have your MPG
The above answer is not how you determine your fuel mileage and was not even the question you asked. The average vehicle (trucks included) today gets around 22.5 MPG.
