    Yep. Don't fill to the brim. You need some air space to account for fuel vapor/expansion.

    That's why there's an automatic stop.

    Impossible to say. You can guess by marking off how long your daily route is, and estimate it from there... but the various side trips (parking, gas station, bathroom breaks) will make this inaccurate.

    Best way? Fix your odometer...

    Best way to compute your fuel milage with a broken odometer? Easy, get it fixed first, like Niky said.

    Does the mag size affect the odometer reading? kasi nagcompute na rin ako ng fuel consumption ko at nasa 9km/l sya pero naka 17'' mags ako so do i have to add or subtract something?

    just bear in mind that there would be approx 5-7 liters difference between a tank filled to the brim as compared to the automatic stop. for accurate fuel consumption, you need to fill your car up to the brim...

    and pagdating sa tires and rims, remember na calibrated yung odo natin for the stock tires and rims, so once you change it, hindi na sya 100% accurate.

    as the others said.. hindi advisable na pupunuin nang sagad at may tendency na tumapon..

    what you can do is go to the same station.. go to the same pump.. at don ka mag full tank (automatic lang).. so ang kakalabasan non eh exactly the same full tank as your last fill.

    Nagpapa gas ako na sagad. paglabas ko ng office sa gabi, duon ako nagpapa gas. OK lang sa akin ang sagad, kasi mga 45 Km pa ang layo ng bahay ko. Almost 4 liters din ang mababawas.

    6 to 7 days bago ko nauubos ang full tank.

    Typically 450 Km+. Best ko ay 546 Km ang 1 full tank. 15.51 Km per liter. Worst ko ay 405 Km. 11.53 Km per liter. Depende talaga sa traffic. Mixed hiway ang city ang FC na iyan.
