Good to "see" you again!

26 mpg is decent.

Best way to calc mpg for a long-term view is to add up all miles, add up all gallons, and divide miles by gallons.

The other way is to divide miles by gallons each time you fill. Which is perfectly valid per fillup, assuming it always clicks off at the same point (not always the case with different pumps). BUT if you take all those mpg numbers and try to average them later they lose their meaning. Because a short tank, say just 100 miles and about 4 gallons, will have just as much "weight" as a long tank of 300 miles and 12 gallons. So an unusually good or bad short tank will skew the results disproportionally.
