Fuel usage -

Fill the tank to when the fuel pump clicks off once.

Zero the trip meter or make a note of the miles readout

Drive normally for about three quarters of a tanks worth

Fill the tank again and note the litres this takes to do and the miles covered since the last fill up.

Divide the miles covered by the number of litres used and then multiply by 4.54 to get the miles per gallon the car has done during the time between fill ups.

Mech faults - there is no easy way, you either have learned and know about cars and what to check or you do not. Read the owners manual - that would be a great start.

The math is easy enough. What you have to do is decide which mileage figure you want - city or freeway driving. If all you do is city driving, no problem; just fill up the next time, record the mileage or use the two trip odometers, and divide that by the amount you need to refill the tank later. If you want a true freeway number, fill up just before a long trip and do the math before resuming city driving. I would expect 30 city and 35 highway mpg although my 2005 gets up to 38 when it is really hot.

As far as mechanical faults - you aren't going to have any if you keep to a maintenance schedule.
