How To Calculate Your Fuel Mileage

Promoting a product that increases mileage so much I can't believe the world's not beating a path to try and use Pro-Ma Performance Products...

It seems that a lot of folks don't seem to be able to figure out their mileage.  Most people who do the same trips every week, only notice that they're gassing up a lot less often!  It doesn't matter how big your tank is:

1. Start with a full tank.

2. Start a "mileage book".

3. Write down the mileage of your first fill-up.  This sets your baseline.  How much gas you use the next time you fill-up will be important, as well as future fill-ups.

The Mileage Book

Note: In Canada convert to metric, ie.:

Therefore you will calculate kilometers per liter.

Here's what the first few entries of your new Mileage Book might look like:

The difference between the “last odometer reading” and the “previous odometer reading” gives you the mileage.

ie.: 33,456-33,000 = 456

Dividing "Mileage" by "Gallons" will give you the “Miles per Gallon” or mpg.

ie.: 456 / 28.2 = 16.17 mpg

You continue to do this for each and every fill-up from here on, and you'll have a record of how much fuel you used, how many miles you drove, and what mpg your vehicle is getting.

Aggregate Data

You can also keep track of an aggregate mileage - the total mileage traveled, and aggregate fuel - the total fuel used.  From these numbers you can calculate an aggregate mpg.  This is a much more accurate one, than any individual trip mileage, because all the irregularities are averaged out.  It's often interesting to see differences from the norm for various trip mileages.

To do this, you'll have to add a few more columns to your Mileage Book, so it'll look more like this:

If you have Excel and would like to have the spreadsheet above, please feel free to for the file… also do not hesitate to email us, if you have any questions…

Please remember to record your mileage and gallons for a while before using the Pro-Ma Performance Products.  That way you will see the increased performance of your vehicle.

As your aggregate mileage increases, the aggregate mpg will tend to even out to an average.  Each trip mpg can be compared to this, and you see very quickly if your mileage is changing.  Unexplained changes will raise interesting questions, such as:

Do I need a tune-up?

Is my engine getting sick?

Have I changed the brand of gas or diesel I'm using?

Have I changed my driving style?

Am I using a new Fuel and/or Oil Additive?

Variations, like city or country driving, winter or summer, loaded or empty, mountains or flatland will also be enlightening - they're often not what you'd expect.

If you're thinking of using Pro-Ma Performance Products, I wish you'd begin checking your mileage in this way, starting today, so that when you switch to Pro-Ma Performance Products, you'll find out that I'm not stretching any truths here - every properly documented case I've yet come across has shown a minimum 25% increase in mileage, but I'm afraid that a lot of people just can't figure it out.  Amazing, but also true and at the same time pretty sad.

And You Know What?

If you do this for a few fill-ups, and then start using Pro-Ma Performance Products you'll see a MONSTER difference in your fuel mileage:
