Don't need a website. 5.5 Miles per litre = 25 Miles per gallon (for mathematicians, 5 times 5 equals 25 - geddit??) and most normally forward-going non-thrashed Scoobs will get thereabouts.....

I thought there were 4.54 litres to the gallon.

5.5*4.54 = 24.97

This debate shows exactly why the approximation of 25 mpg is such a good one

I get about 22-24mpg on average, more on long motorway journeys, (if I'm being fairly sensible).

That's great.

Ive got 16.8 litres of engines outside, with a further 9.4 ordered.

I now have in my favourites a "misery-ometer"
