1. What is UK MPG?

MPG (UK) stands for Miles Per Gallon in the United Kingdom measurement system. It measures how many miles a vehicle can travel using one imperial gallon of fuel (4.546 liters).

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the UK MPG formula:

Where:

• \( Miles \) — Distance traveled in miles
• \( Liters \) — Fuel consumed in liters
• \( 4.546 \) — Conversion factor (liters per UK gallon)

Explanation: The formula converts liters to UK gallons then divides miles traveled by gallons consumed.

3. Importance of MPG Calculation

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

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter distance traveled in miles and fuel consumed in liters. Both values must be positive numbers.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: How is UK MPG different from US MPG?
A: UK gallons (4.546 liters) are larger than US gallons (3.785 liters), so the same vehicle will show higher MPG in UK measurements.

Q2: What is a good MPG value?
A: Typically, 40+ MPG is good for small cars, 30-40 MPG for medium cars, and 20-30 MPG for larger vehicles.

Q3: How can I improve my MPG?
A: Maintain proper tire pressure, reduce excess weight, avoid aggressive driving, and keep up with vehicle maintenance.

Q4: Why does my actual MPG differ from manufacturer claims?
A: Manufacturer tests use controlled conditions. Real-world factors like traffic, terrain, and driving style affect actual MPG.

Q5: How accurate is this calculator?
A: The calculation is mathematically precise, but accuracy depends on how precisely you measure miles traveled and fuel consumed.
