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
3 W) @4 S" @3 Q8 KThe gas mileage = (next time mileage - previous time mileage) /(next time filled gas volume)
3 O  c) x- L6 p- O/ S9 }: @After convent to MPG(mile per gallon), the result I got is 26 MPG
