MPG?


Recommended Posts

I'm confused, Ian. It looks to me, from the graphs, that over the same distance and timeframe your mileage generally improved in MPG's, but worsened when you calculated it in K/100ml. Howzat? Or, am I not reading them right.

 

I have to throw in my 2 imperial cents. ^_^

 

I usually see anywhere from 23-27 MPG (around 8.5-10 l/100km) in town (and I mean seriously in town; no freeway at all, rarely above 50 MPH/80 km/h, lots of stop lights). I usually see anywhere from 30 to 40 MPG (6-8 l/100km) out of town, on country roads or freeways. The highest I've ever seen was around 43 MPG (5.5 l/100km).

 

You can see a chart of my gas mileage numbers from the first fill up to late last year here:

Why? Because I'm a nerd. :nerd:

The metric is l/100km which is an inverse of the mpg. It is not km/l
