I filled up yesterday and drove 6 miles back home.

Today, I drove back and filled up again.

I drove 12 miles and needed .7 gallons to fill back up.

Whats my MPG?

Not exactly Nobel Prize level stuff...
12/.7=17.1428571429 mpg

But as a practical matter, you should have a larger sample size.

Yeah, but that's quick and dirty enough for a rough idea.

Not real bad for a 5,000+ lb box on wheels with a V-8.

Thanks.
