If you want to check yourself:
Cost of fuel(litre) x 4.54 = cost per gallon
Divide total cost by cost per gallon = number of gallons used
Divide number of miles by number of gallons = MPG.
So £1.38x 4.54= £6.36 per gallon
£35/£6.36 = 5.58 gallons
145.2/5.58 = 26MPG
Cost of fuel(litre) x 4.54 = cost per gallon
Divide total cost by cost per gallon = number of gallons used
Divide number of miles by number of gallons = MPG.
So £1.38x 4.54= £6.36 per gallon
£35/£6.36 = 5.58 gallons
145.2/5.58 = 26MPG

With 26.03 MPG i think i would be happy with that, if i was having fun while driving it.
Now i get 36.07 MPG (ish) with the MG ZS and think thats utter shit as there is no fun while driving it! I would be happier with more MPG as its not fun, but if it was fun then say 26.03 MPG would be great in my eyes.
Are they fast cars? Is it fun?

Not bad!
