wandwill · Veteran Member

have been told so many ways. would like to find out how many ks we are getting to the ks. thank you

brickies · Guru

There will be some one out there may have a formula but I use this , Drive 100 KLM use 10 litres of fuel , would mean you get 10 klm per 1 Litre

Gidday wandwill, this link may assist you, just take note of Klms when you fill up, then when you refill put in Klms travelled, and Litres put in, and it will convert it for you Automatically, http://motormouth.com.au/myvehicle/consumptioncalculator.aspx

I couldn't work mine out either so I filled the tank, drove 300 ks and refilled. It took 39 litres so I calculate 13 litres to 100 ks.

Thanks for that link dazren. That makes it so easy.

Sorry forgot, Welcome wandwill, you will get so much info on here.

Gday...

Cupie's got it one. Good and accurate system. I also record my odometre reading, record and then zero my trip meter and record the litres taken at east fill. I then transfer that to my spreadsheet to calculate my fuel usage and a host of other useful - and useless but interesting - information.

I also carry a paper ready-reckoner in the car to have a quick "reference check" at time of fill - eases an old inquisitive mind biggrin aww

Attached is a pic of the sheet - feel free to copy/print/use to your heart's content biggrin (or ignore)

Using the sheet - eg 60litres filled, covered 500km = 12.0ltr/100km.

Cheers - John

Fill er up, set the trip meter to 0 and when i fill up again (Must fill it right up) I just pull out the calculator and divide the K's travelled by the fuel purchased. e.g. 1500 ks travelled. Purchased 150 litres 1500 divided by 150 = 10 litres per 100.

This is a good converter from the 150 litres to 1500 k's you get the following conversions

Here is my version. After each refuel: Divide the number of litres filled by the number kilometres travelled and mulitiply the result by 100 = litres per 100 km.
