4. Whenever you feel it's time to fill up, drive to your usual gas station. I try to use the same exact pump at the same exact station to maximize constants. The other variable I would like to control is the time/temperature during fill up.
5. Again, fill up until the pump stops on its own.
6. Divide the number of miles showing up on the trip odometer with the number of gallons displayed on the pump.
7. Reset trip odometer and repeat.

But obviously pcinoc does not think this is accurate?, In my precious vehicle, the MID always read between 1-2 mpg higher than actual, I always hand calculate, it is THE only way to ensure accuracy.

I just completed a round-trip drive from Vancouver, WA to Seattle. I have an '06 automatic.' At speeds of 80 mph I averaged 34 mpg on the car computer (that was in speed zones of 70). In speed zones of 60 I drove 70 (cruise) and had close to 35 mpg. After this trip, I now have less than 1200 miles on the car. I'd say this is pretty good mileage and I expect it to improve as the car breaks in.
