Pretty simple, I use the trip odometer. At every fillup I reset the trip
odometer, the next fillup I record how many litres went in and what the trip
odometer said. The rest is math. This works quite well, it is especially
accurate if you stay with the same gas station and even the same pump. It
also helps if you build up a lot of kilometers between fill ups. TTYL
