What is my MPG

The website requires two main pieces of information for the 'tiny' calculator on the front page:

• The amount of fuel put into the tank
• The distance travelled since the last fill up

Other information is required to make full use of the site's features and to let you collect historical data:

• The date of the fill up
• The cost of the fuel (either per unit (litre/gallon), or for the whole fill up)

To collect the data, do the following:

• Put a pen in your car.
• Go to a petrol station and fill up as normal.
• Check that your receipt mentions the amount of fuel you put in.
• If it does, just write the mileage from your dashboard trip meter on the receipt.
• If it doesn't, write down the mileage and also the amount of fuel displayed on the face of the pump.
• Zero the trip mileage.
