How to calculate fuel consumption based on mileage?

After refueling, reset the trip mileage and convert the amount into fuel volume based on the current fuel price. Repeat this process each time you refuel. Fuel consumption per 100 kilometers = Volume of fuel (liters) / Distance the car can travel with that amount of fuel (kilometers) X100. Reset the mileage or record the information.
