I can not remember the way to work out the MPG. Last night i put £20 of v-power at 1.09 has have had 130 out of the car most on the motorways . I think this is about 32mpg.

Could anyone tell me the way to check this.  

Thanks

steve.

One gallon = 4.5461 litres.

£20 at 1.09/litre = 18.35 litres
18.35 litres / 4.546 = 4.04 gallons
130 miles / 4.04 gallons = 32.2 MPG

Pretty good by my reckoning!

Thats great Steve, your very cleverer than me

[STMO123]

So, 20/1.09=18.35 l=4.03 gallons

130/ 4.03=32.25 mpg

£20 at 1.09/litre = 18.35 litres
18.35 litres / 4.546 = 4.04 gallons
130 miles / 4.04 gallons = 32.2 MPG

Pretty good by my reckoning!

20 quids worth at 1.09:  20/1.09 = 18.35 litres
18.35/4.54 = 4.04 gallons
130/4.04 = 32.18 MPG

 

For accuracy, best bet is to brim the tank, reset the ODO, then drive for a couple of tanks, keeping the reciepts, then brim it again and work out the consumption over the whole lot.

... Or just don't do it cos it's too depressing.

Thanks for that all.Very true it is depressing and that was with a very light right foot. Not bad as there was some town driving too. .

Would that seem right for a 3.2?.

Steve is much, much, much cleverer than me, sure he'll be able to advise

For a 3.2, I'd be well happy.
