You check the odometer when you fill up. On your next fill, no matter
if even a half a tank, you check the miles on the odometer again. This
gives you the number of miles traveled and the amount of gas used to do
so. Then you just divide the miles by how many gallons used.

Do you really think this is a reliable way to establish mileage? Is this
something new? Has this ever been proven? What would happen, say, if one
would do this over ten tankfuls? Do you think this would give an accurate
measurement over a long trip? Do you think anyone under 25 could do the
math?

WHAT AN OUTSTANDING NOVEL IDEA!

Not so fast!

I don't see any cites here. Where are the government statistics
showing this to be valid in Illinois?
