you used 50 litres of feul to cover 300 miles so that is a very simple 6 miles per litre

now that you know that, you multiply it by the amount of litres in a gallon (4.54 for the uk, variations of 3-4 litres in america and other places in the world)

so you end up with 6 x 4.54 = 27.24, so that extra 0.01 of a mile might make all the difference

Not at all, just demonstrates the low IQ required for the job.
It is a car forum, most into cars know how to work out mpg, and those that don't use a modicum of sense and spend 3 seconds on google.
Want some direction on how to use google mate?
