I do on mine. Average is a little over 16 mpg in town. I have no idea on highway mpg as I never go out of town. Also fill mine completely every time because you never know when you might need a full tank especially these days. . . . . . . . . . .
While employers squeeze workers and their unions for cuts to health care and other benefits, the CEOs of major corporations now make nearly 400 times more than their average employees, the largest employer-worker gap in our history. While 60 percent of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck– with three multi-billionaires owning more wealth than the bottom half.
If you are wondering why we continue to pay, by far, the highest prices in the world for prescription drugs, you should know that Pfizer has increased its profits by 42 percent so far this year to $26.4 billion.
Gasoline? Profits of Exxon Mobil, Chevron, BP and Shell skyrocketed by 169 percent so far this year to $125 billion. They are spending over $73 billion not to reduce gas prices at the pump but to buy back their own stock and increase dividends to their wealthy stockholders.
Groceries? Global food prices skyrocketed by over 33 percent last year and are expected to go up another 23 percent this year. Billionaires in the global food and agri-business industry became $382 billion richer during the pandemic.
Covid actually did cause problems that could be used as an excuse to raise prices. Once those prices were raised, they aren’t coming down unless people stop buying and there is a glut that has to be addressed by lowing them. Right now, more than any time in modern history, we need a Congress that has the courage to take on the wealthy campaign contributors, super-PACs, and lobbyists who work overtime in protecting the interests of billionaires and corporate interests. And that is precisely what Democrats must do if they are able to expand their majority in the House and the Senate.
sorry Zig. we must believe what we are told by MSM and Social Influencers so that facts are what they want them to be, rather than what they really are. SOOOOO gas prices aren’t high! Food prices aren’t out of control, the drug companies don’t lie, and only the party of the one party have the truth even though neither of them will take responsibility, accountability and only blame everyone else for what they’ve created. or as one of them says daily – that’s not true! it’s better than it’s ever been. even my 8-year-old grandson doesn’t believe that and he’s only been around 8 years LOL
I’ve been doing stuff on paper lately since I noticed that my skills died down especially since they were not so much. I zero the counter when I fill up. Noticed that when I warm up or cool down I lose a bit of miles. Since I started out driving gas hogs I long since learned to ask for directions and not to pedal more than necessary and would let the car ride to the stop. Especially since I grew up having to fix what was broken. It didn’t seem to matter what people said about how many miles per gallon for some reason the car got more than they always said it could. I now drive a new small suv and I still find myself asking for much more fuel than the it can get on a full tank. Of course I want to always fill it up since I’ve had to push cars with iron block engines I don’t want to try my luck anymore. I must be learning slower than before because when I bought this vehicle it was at a gas light on $40 to fill up but my luck would have it that the gas price would double the day I ask for less at a half tank.

I have no idea how many miles my car gets to the gallon, but I know it uses about 9 liters per 100 km.

You do not need to fill the tank to determine MPG. Besides, newer cars do that for you automatically.

When we would fill up the RV, there was many times the cost of fuel was more than the price of my first car.
