or gallons).

the current odometer  reading.

reading.

economy:

kilometerstraveled.

Keep a record  for at least  one month and record  the type of  driving (city
or highway). This  will provide an  accurate estimate of the  vehicles fuel
economy under current  driving conditions. Additionally,  keeping records
during summer and  winter will show  how temperature impacts fuel
economy. In general,  lower temperatures give  lower fuel economy.
