Running Out of Fuel
NOTE: Avoid running out of fuel because this situation may
have an adverse effect on modern powertrain
components.
You may need to crank the engine several times before the fuel
system starts to pump fuel from the tank to the engine.
Fuel Economy
Fuel economy is an estimate of the efficiency of your vehicle,
and can be calculated as Miles Per Gallon (MPG) or Liters Per
100 Kilometers (L/100K).
Do not calculate fuel economy during your vehicle's break-in
period. This would not be an accurate estimate of how much
fuel your vehicle will normally use.
To calculate fuel economy:
Fill the fuel tank completely and record the initial odometer
1.
reading.
Every time you buy fuel, record the amount (in gallons or
2.
liters) purchased.
After at least 3-5 tankfuls, fill the fuel tank and record the
3.
final odometer reading.
Use these equations to calculate your fuel economy:
4.
English: MPG
Metric: L/100k
and divide the answer by the number of kilometers
travelled.
308
(total miles driven)
Multiply the number of liters used by 100
(gallons used)
