Thats very good.
I tend to spend about 20 minutes trying to do compicated mental arithmetic to work it out after filling up 
If you top up at about 100 miles, and can get 10 litres in, that's about 45 mpg.
Easy to remember and is the general area of a lot of bikes. |

What about if you ride a motorbike?
I don't bother with trying to work out mpg figures for my bike (or car). My method is fill the tank up, then wait till the fuel light comes on and fill up again - hey presto! - the amount of petrol i put in is roughly equal to the amount of petrol i've used.
Who said maths had to be difficult??

With greatest respect Sir.

5. to have a specified character for riding purposes: The car rides smoothly.
6. to be conditioned; depend (usually fol. by on): All his hopes are riding on getting that promotion.
7. Informal. to continue without interruption or interference: He decided to let the bet ride.
8. to be carried on something, as a litter, a person's shoulders, or the like.
9. to work or move up from the proper place or position (usually fol. by up): Her skirt rode up above her knees.
10. to extend or project over something, as the edge of one thing over the edge of another thing.
