How to work out MPG ?
« on: 07 January 2008, 13:50:46 »
I can not remember the way to work out the MPG. Last night i put £20 of v-power at 1.09 has have had 130 out of the car most on the motorways . I think this is about 32mpg.

Could anyone tell me the way to check this.  

Thanks

£20 at 1.09/litre = 18.35 litres
18.35 litres / 4.546 = 4.04 gallons
130 miles / 4.04 gallons = 32.2 MPG

Pretty good by my reckoning!

So, 20/1.09=18.35 l=4.03 gallons

130/ 4.03=32.25 mpg

20 quids worth at 1.09:  20/1.09 = 18.35 litres
18.35/4.54 = 4.04 gallons
130/4.04 = 32.18 MPG

 :y

For accuracy, best bet is to brim the tank, reset the ODO, then drive for a couple of tanks, keeping the reciepts, then brim it again and work out the consumption over the whole lot.

... Or just don't do it cos it's too depressing.

Thanks for that all.Very true it is depressing and that was with a very light right foot. Not bad as there was some town driving too. :y.

Would that seem right for a 3.2?.
