Where you'll actually use this

Fuel economy compares how far a vehicle travels per unit of fuel — or, inversely, how much fuel it uses per unit of distance.

  • Buying a car

    US listings show MPG (higher is better). Most of the rest of the world shows L/100 km (lower is better).

  • Road trips

    Estimate fuel cost: distance ÷ economy × price per gallon (or liter).

  • Fleet management

    Standardize across regions by converting all vehicles to the same metric.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • MPG isn't linear

    Going from 10 → 20 MPG saves much more fuel than 40 → 50 MPG, even though both jumps are '+10 MPG'.

  • US MPG ≠ UK MPG

    A UK (imperial) gallon is 20% larger than a US gallon, so UK MPG values are higher for the same vehicle.

Did you know?

Why L/100 km is more honest

L/100 km is directly proportional to fuel cost — twice the number means twice the bill. MPG isn't.
