I want to check my mpg.
Tell me if there's something wrong with my proposed method for checking my mpg.
I'm going to fill my tank, drive xx miles at 55 mph on a straight freeway, and then fill up again and note the gallons to fill. And then divide miles driven by the gallons used.
Now, my plan to get my actual miles driven will be to use google maps to plan a starting point to destination using google maps for calculating the distance from point a to b.
Anything wrong with my idea?
I used a free version of an app called "Speedometer" and liked it enough to buy it. Even free it gives accurate trip distance and speed.
