Mpg calculator


Recommended Posts

mine might be so low because im constantly doing a 1mile trip to work and back?

car never warms up properly would be my guess, it swings in roundabouts

i used to drive my 1.2...2 miles to and from work per day, and i would only use 1 tank a month costing me 40quid

i know driver 34 miles round trip to work and use a tank a week, presumeably because my 1.2 uses more fuel cruising at motorway speed.

on the flip side i borrowed my mums 1.6 focus out of curiosity to do the 34 mile trip and only used half a tank for the week, and was probably driving faster!!!

much more ergonomics to it i reckon though

I've done mine with what i normally fill up at.. comes to 27mpg which is about right for me.. but then i see the example at the bottom..

"12,000 miles would cost you - £2032"

So if I did no mileage this year i'd be able to spend £1500 easy on a supercharger by now :(

another pointless thread we all have mpg calculators on our dashboards

excuse me? i have one on my dashboard but that tells you each trip, and does not calculate your whole tank, no need to insult me

although of course you wouldn't be able to do the whole 12,000 miles using petrol of the same price making the calculation pointless.

may not be totally accurate but you get a ball park figure..so not really pointless.
