1. What is Miles Per Gallon?

MPG (Miles Per Gallon) is a measurement of a vehicle's fuel efficiency, representing how many miles the vehicle can travel using one gallon of fuel.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the MPG formula:

Where:

• Distance — Miles traveled
• Gallons — Fuel consumed

Explanation: The equation simply divides the distance traveled by the amount of fuel used.

3. Importance of MPG Calculation

Details: Calculating MPG helps vehicle owners understand their fuel efficiency, compare different vehicles, and estimate fuel costs for trips.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter distance in miles and fuel consumption in gallons. Both values must be positive numbers.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is a good MPG rating?
A: Typically, 25-30 MPG is good for city driving, while 30-40 MPG is excellent for highway driving. Hybrids and electric vehicles can achieve much higher ratings.

Q2: How can I improve my MPG?
A: Regular maintenance, proper tire inflation, smooth acceleration, and reducing vehicle weight can all improve MPG.

Q3: Does MPG vary with driving conditions?
A: Yes, MPG is typically lower in city driving (due to stops/starts) and higher in highway driving (consistent speeds).

Q4: What's the difference between MPG and L/100km?
A: MPG measures distance per unit fuel (higher is better), while L/100km measures fuel per distance (lower is better). They're inversely related.

Q5: Why does my calculated MPG differ from the manufacturer's rating?
A: Manufacturer ratings are done under controlled conditions. Real-world factors like driving habits, terrain, and weather affect actual MPG.
