Lonnie,
It would be more accurate if you could drive the highway and make note of the highway milage markers on the side of the highway and then compare it to your odometer. The farther you could drive the more accurate the results would be.
Math:
Drive 100 miles according to the mile markers
Odometer reads, lets say 97.6
100 miles/97.6 = 1.02459016393 or 102.5%
So now lets say that you fill up at the gas station at some point in time. You put in 15.693 gallons of gas and your odometer reads 260.3 miles. So you take 260.3 * 1.025 = 266.8 actual miles, then 266.8 / 15.693 = 17.00 miles per gallon. I hope this helps.
