Fuel Economy Formula

Transparent mathematical methodology explained in plain English.

MPG = (Odometer Ending - Odometer Beginning) / Gallons Pumped

Calculates true average fuel efficiency between full tank fill-ups.

Variables Explained:

  • Miles Traveled: Distance driven on full tank.
  • Gallons: Volume pumped to return tank to full.
Real Project Example

342 miles driven on 11.8 gallons of gasoline

Fill-up calculation.

Sample Project Inputs:
Miles: 342
Gallons: 11.8
Step-by-Step Calculation:
  1. MPG = 342 / 11.8 = 28.98 MPG.
  2. Equivalent metric: ~8.12 Liters / 100 km.
Calculated Answer: 29.0 US MPG (8.1 L/100km).
