You do not necesarily need to use up an entire tankful on the experiment. Obviously the more you use, the more accurate the figure becomes, but all you need to do is brim the tank stopping at the first click then make a note of the mileage.

You then drive it far enough to make it a worthwhile distance for topping it up again and take it back to exactly the same petrol pump/ same side of the pump and brim it as before, exacept this time you make a note of how many litres you put in and the new mileage figures.
