Recently I began to monitor the gas mileage of my 90 Chevy Corsica,V6/3.1L 3speed automatic transmision. Curb weight about 2885 lb
The gas mileage measure method I got from a local friend is that fullfill the gas tank each time, put down the mileage and gas volume(litre) filled in, then
# i2 X% w2 v* T' N& ^* Z7 hThe gas mileage = (next time mileage - previous time mileage) /(next time filled gas volume)
* y7 Z, G7 R) f! D. }9 RAfter convent to MPG(mile per gallon), the result I got is 26 MPG

Official gas mileage is  MPG (City/Hwy) 4 cyl 24/33 v6 21/29

, k5 W5 v! V, C% C8 f* BConversion:
1 w( d. |# f! |1 Litre =  0.264172 Gallon
% l" m/ C3 q6 h, ]1 Km  =   0.62137 Mile
