Frequently asked questions

What is the formula?

L/100 km is litres divided by kilometres, times 100. US mpg uses the 3.785 L US gallon and UK mpg uses the 4.546 L imperial gallon.

Why are US and UK mpg different?

The UK gallon is about 20% larger, so the same car shows a higher mpg in UK figures.

How do I measure fuel used?

Fill the tank, reset the trip meter, drive, then fill again. The fuel added at the second fill is what you used for that distance.
