Hello,

The most accurate way to calculate mileage will require the use of some sort of portable GPS unit.

I do not own one, but I do have the luxuary of having a friend who owns one and he loans it to me when I ask nicely.

Fill the tank, reset the GPS total mileage to zero and go at least 50 miles before returning to a gas station to fill up again to determine how much gas you have consumed.

You can also determine what speed you are actually going by viewing the speed readings from the GPS and compare this to your speedometer to determine your speed reading offset.
