Default MY MPG...

How do you work out what MPG i am going?

When I full my 50 ltr tank full it will last me 250 miles. About 2 weeks driving.

Hello

50 litres = 11 Gallons (ish)

250 / 11 = 22.72 mpg.

Fill your tank and re-set odo. Next time you fill, see how much you put in and make a note of the mileage you have just covered.

Then apply the following

Miles travelled / (Litres used / 4.54596)

Must try harder. Anything above 21mpg is gay - fact.

Hello

Well, I obviously drive my Supra like the old man I am, as I manage to get close to 30mpg most of the time.
