How is miles per gallon calculated?

The number of miles driven divided by the amount of gallons to drive that distance. If you drove 330 miles and it took 10 gallons to refill the tank, then you got 33 miles per gallon. You are only able to compute this if you start with a full tank and then refill the tank back to full after you drove a certain distance or start with a specific amount of gas and drive till you run out of gas.
