If I go 105 miles on 10 litres of fuel, what's my exact mpg?

Thanks. Embarassed

I worked it out as 46.something mpg. My workings *may* have been dodgy though Wink

Now now John.

10 litres multiplied by 0.22 = 2.2 gallons.

105 miles divided by 2.2 gallons = 47.73 miles per gallon.

So I get more than 50MPG then!

I get about 130-140 per 10 Litres worth!

There are 4.54609188 litres per imperial gallon, so that works out as 2.19969 (and then lots more decimal places) gallons. So that works out as 47.73396(and then lots more decimal places) miles per gallon.

To work out how many litres there are in a gallon, I just used Google calculator. Go to Google and just type in a question like "How many litres in a gallon?" and it comes back with the answer. remember that there is the imperial gallon and the US gallon and they are different amount, but it did pick up on it when I called it the british gallon.

Wow this is like Countdown Very Happy

I did... 105 / (10/4.5)

= 47.25mpg

PS: When I wrote 46.something earlier, I had actually quit calculator and forgot what it was Laughing

10.5 miles per litre Very Happy

thats easier then working out galons... After all you dont buy fuel in galons.

MPL just confuses me, being british I was brought up on gallons so MPG means something! Razz

Hi

As there are 4.54L (OK, to a few less decimal places than Ste quoted) it works out that if litres used * 10 = miles done then you are doing 45.4mpg.

All the best
