MPG?

[dlapierre]

I'm confused, Ian. It looks to me, from the graphs, that over the same distance and timeframe your mileage generally improved in MPG's, but worsened when you calculated it in K/100ml. Howzat? Or, am I not reading them right.

 

I have to throw in my 2 imperial cents.

 

I usually see anywhere from 23-27 MPG (around 8.5-10 l/100km) in town (and I mean seriously in town; no freeway at all, rarely above 50 MPH/80 km/h, lots of stop lights). I usually see anywhere from 30 to 40 MPG (6-8 l/100km) out of town, on country roads or freeways. The highest I've ever seen was around 43 MPG (5.5 l/100km).

 

You can see a chart of my gas mileage numbers from the first fill up to late last year here:

Why? Because I'm a nerd.

The metric is l/100km which is an inverse of the mpg. It is not km/l
