Default MPG Calculator

Being shite at maths, ive just conjured up this sum, to get my MPG, what i want to know is if its correct?

£1.35 @ litre (unleaded)

So -

4.5 litres = 1 gallon

4.5 litres @ £1.35 (litre of fuel) = £6.07

£45 fuel got me 200 miles

So

200 (Miles i did) divided by £6.07 (cost per gallon of fuel) = 32.9 miles to a gallon..

Correctay?

sort of lol
i think u see how many litres you put in ie say 50 litres.then divide by 4.5 which is about 11.1.that will give u how many gallons you put in.then you divide how far you travelled on that 11,1 gallons and that will give u your mpg

I thought i was only getting around 20 - 25mpg, odd car, doesnt matter how you drive it, it does the same on fuel, its only when its around town, motorway, or back road it makes the difference :/ she will see me through the winter

£1.35 @ litre (unleaded)

So -

4.5 litres = 1 gallon

4.5 litres @ £1.35 (litre of fuel) = £6.07 per gallon

£45 fuel got me 200 miles

So

£45 divided by £6.07 = 7.4 Gallons

200 miles divided by 7.4 Gallons = 27mpg

You won't get an accurate reading unless you do it from 'brim to brim'. You've no accurate way of knowing how much is left in the tank otherwise. I don't think I ever got over 30mpg the entire time I had my ST200.

there you go, they've got it right.

so, best off brimming the tank and reseting the trip then drive normally until the tank is nearly empty and then rebrim the tank and not down how many mils you have done and how many litres you have put in.

then do litrs/4.546 to get your gallons and then

miles driven/gallons used = mpg.
