    Neither do I Rich but I'm working it out using the number of litres needed to fill it and the number of miles I got out of those litres. Hope that makes sense - it's easier in excel...

    Edit...here is the formula

    mpg = number of miles/(litres used/4.546)

    The plan! The plan! And even tho you're working such horrendous hours, I'm really glad to see you're keeping your eye on the ball with overcharging. Good for you.
