Why MPG Matters for IFTA

Average MPG is one of the most important numbers in the IFTA reporting process.

It helps determine how fuel is allocated across states and supports accurate quarterly reporting.

Example Calculation

If a truck travels:

  • 15,000 miles
  • 2,500 gallons of fuel

The average MPG would be:

6.0 MPG

Common MPG Tracking Mistakes

Drivers often:

  • Estimate fuel usage
  • Forget fuel purchases
  • Lose receipts
  • Enter mileage incorrectly

Small errors can create larger reporting problems later.

Beyond the Calculator

A calculator is useful for quick estimates.

However, owner-operators still need a system to:

  • Track mileage by state
  • Record fuel purchases
  • Review totals
  • Export reports
