best way to test fual usage is fill it up with fuel and when it runs out of fuel theres no more usage left

Fill it run it for a good many miles, then fill it again then do your sums and see what your consumption is.

Fill it up so the pump clicks off , then drive a couple of hundred miles, go back to same pump and fill up until it clicks off . Note how many litres you put, then do your sums. Just for example. 40 ltr does 200 miles . Convert litres to gallons divide by 4.54 , = 8.8 gallons . Then divide miles by 8.8. 200 miles divided by 8.8 = 22.7 mpg. Does that make sense ?
