If you do it this way I would suggest carrying and extra 5 gallon can of gas with you... or hope you are a member of AAA. But yes.. that is the way to do it, even with a working gauge it is not an accurate way to determine MPGs anyways.

Completely stock 89xj five speed 3miles/day (1.5m to and from work with idle warm-up in the mornings) 18.6mpg/17.5G with unknown last change of plugs/wires. With new plugs wires and some seafoam we shall see if this helps.
