Mileage Formula:
From: | To: |
Mileage calculation measures how efficiently a vehicle uses fuel. It's expressed as kilometers per liter (km/l) and indicates how many kilometers a vehicle can travel on one liter of fuel.
The calculator uses the simple formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula divides the distance traveled by the amount of fuel consumed to determine fuel efficiency.
Details: Knowing your vehicle's mileage helps track fuel efficiency, identify potential mechanical issues, and calculate fuel costs for trips.
Tips: For accurate results, fill your tank completely before a trip, note the odometer reading, then fill up again at the end and note both the distance traveled and fuel required to fill the tank.
Q1: What is considered good mileage?
A: This varies by vehicle type. Generally, 15-20 km/l is good for cars, while motorcycles may get 30-50 km/l.
Q2: How can I improve my vehicle's mileage?
A: Regular maintenance, proper tire inflation, smooth driving, and reducing excess weight can improve mileage.
Q3: Why does my mileage vary?
A: Mileage depends on driving conditions, traffic, vehicle load, air conditioning use, and maintenance status.
Q4: Should I calculate mileage over multiple tanks?
A: Yes, calculating over several tanks gives a more accurate average as conditions vary between trips.
Q5: Does this work for electric vehicles?
A: No, EVs use different metrics (kWh per km). This calculator is for fuel-powered vehicles only.
