what is it please?

i want to work out my mpg, as i think my car is actually taking the piss out of me...

i can just about get 300 miles on a 40l tank, if i take it slow... that is rubbish!! for a corsa too...

thank u

 

4.54 to the gallon.. roughly

 

and whats normal, for a little 1.4 runaround? thank u xx

 

around 33 to the Gallon?

Thats what i worked out ur doing i think

 

mpg = (miles travelled / litres used) * 4.54

 

I doubt you are using the whole 40 litres either

My light comes on at 32l in my 40l tanked fiesta

Only way to tell is to brim it, run it till light comes on, note mileage and see how much fuel it takes to brim it again, thats the ONLY way to know how much fuel you've used

 

Yeah! As said i think your getting quite good mpg

 

300 miles on a tank is good, for a Corsa......mine only gets about 250, for the 1.6 16v version, although I don't run mine til the light comes on......as soon as it goes below 1/4 full, I fill it up the next time I'm going home from work.

 

an easy way is to multiply by 5. thats when i impress my mates by saying i can drink 3 gallons of carling in a night out !!
