See full answer. Consequently, how do you know how many gallons your car holds?
Get the miles traveled from the trip odometer, or subtract the original odometer reading from the new one. Divide the miles traveled by the amount of gallons it took to refill the tank. The result will be your car's average miles per gallon yield for that driving period.
Similarly, how many miles does 1 gallon of gas get you? To figure the gas mileage, you would need to determine how many miles you traveled on 1 gallon of gas. You would need to divide 1000 miles by 50 gallons of gas. That would equal 20; therefore, you traveled 20 miles for every 1 gallon of gas. Your gas mileage would be 20 mpg (miles per gallon).
Also asked, how many gallons does an SUV hold?
Most vehicles gas tank capacity ranges from ten gallons for small compact cars to forty gallons for large trucks or SUVs.
How many gallons does a car use per mile?
Here's how it happened. Cars and light trucks sold in the United States hit a new record for fuel efficiency last year — 23.6 miles per gallon, on average — in response to still-high oil prices and strict new fuel-economy standards. That's a big step up from the 22.4 miles per gallon average for new vehicles in 2011.
