Fuel Economy Calculator

MPG (miles per gallon) measures how many miles a vehicle can travel on one gallon of fuel, while L/100km (liters per 100 kilometers) measures how many liters of fuel are needed to travel 100 kilometers. Higher MPG and lower L/100km indicate better fuel efficiency.

Improve fuel economy by maintaining proper tire pressure, regular vehicle maintenance, driving at steady speeds, reducing vehicle weight, using cruise control on highways, and avoiding aggressive acceleration and braking.

Good fuel economy varies by vehicle type. For compact cars, 30+ MPG (7.8 L/100km) is good. For SUVs, 25+ MPG (9.4 L/100km) is good. Hybrid and electric vehicles typically achieve much better efficiency.

Better fuel economy means lower fuel costs. For example, a vehicle that gets 30 MPG will use less fuel than one that gets 20 MPG for the same distance, resulting in significant savings over time.

Official fuel economy ratings are based on standardized tests, but real-world conditions may vary. Factors like driving style, weather, terrain, and vehicle maintenance can affect actual fuel economy.
