Yep about 22mpg

7.7 x (5/8) x 4.54 = about 22mpg

Question Is that right? It's not very efficient if it is?

Is the below calculation right? I reffered to some conversion sites ie http://www.rockymountainmoggers.com/convert.html while processing the following...

Do we have any keen mathamaticians in the forum?

7.7km/L @60km/h (average of 37 miles per hour)

1 litre = 7.7 kilometres

1 gallon = 3.7854 litres

7.7 km = 4.785 miles

3.7854 litres (1 gallon) x 4.785 = 18.11 miles per gallon

Type it into Google like this "7.7 kilometres per litre in miles per gallon" and it'll give you the answer (18.11 miles per gallon), or for UK gallons change it to
"7.7 kilometres per litre in miles per uk gallon" and you get 21.75

Aha... So with this in mind the answer should be = 21.7239 miles per gallon

Which rounded up is as mentioned 22 miles per gallon.

Thanks for all your help everyone, it's been an educational evening.
