Figure 232 contains the Fuel table with my entries and the query
results based upon the Fuel table: the query results are in the right
table.

Step 5: Save and close the query.
Since this query contains the ending odometer reading for our
calculations, name it End-Reading when saving it. Then close the
query.
Step 6: Create the query to calculate the fuel economy.
1) Click Create Query in Design View to open a new query.
2) Add the Fuel table to the query just as you did in step 2: Add
tables But, do not close the Add Tables window.
3) Add the End-Reading query to this query.
a) Click Queries to get the list of queries in the database.

b) Click End-Reading.
c) Click Add, and then click Close.
Step 7: Add fields to the table at the bottom of the query.
We are going to calculate the fuel economy. To do this we need the
FuelQuantity and distance traveled. Since the FuelQuantity we want to
use is at the ending odometer reading, we will use the End-Reading
query to get it. We will also use the Odometer field from the Fuel table
and End-Reading query.
