Its been years since I actually worked out the MPG of any of my wagons (probabally last did it when u could still buy petrol in gallons!!) so for the life of me I can't remember the calculatons to use. Its these pesky litres that seem to mess me up.

Come to my rescue PH

miles travelled * 4.546
---------------------------- = MPG
num litres to re-brim tank

Unless, of course, I'm wrong

personally I brim tank, next time I fill I note required litres, litres over miles multiply by 4.54 = MPG....... or have I got that the wrong way round...

Divide the number 282 with either the mpg figure or the l/100km figure. Works both ways

Cool site gtir, makes me calculations rather quicker!

pdv6 its the bunny damage that has made me drive slowly & thus get great mpg, so I guess its thanks to them I can afford more beer on Sat nite I knew bunnys were nicer than Badgers.
