Mileage Formula:
From: | To: |
Mileage refers to the distance a vehicle can travel per unit of fuel consumed, typically measured in kilometers per liter (km/l) or miles per gallon (mpg). It's a key indicator of a vehicle's fuel efficiency.
The calculator uses the simple mileage formula:
Where:
Explanation: This calculation gives you the average kilometers your vehicle can travel per liter of fuel.
Details: Knowing your vehicle's mileage helps in budgeting fuel costs, comparing vehicle efficiency, and identifying potential mechanical issues when mileage decreases unexpectedly.
Tips: For accurate results, fill your tank completely before starting your trip, note the odometer reading, then fill up completely again at the end and note both the distance traveled and fuel consumed.
Q1: What is considered good mileage?
A: This varies by vehicle type, but generally 15-20 km/l is good for cars, while motorcycles may achieve 30-50 km/l.
Q2: How can I improve my vehicle's mileage?
A: Regular maintenance, proper tire inflation, smooth driving, and reducing unnecessary weight can improve mileage.
Q3: Why does my mileage vary?
A: Mileage depends on driving conditions (city vs highway), traffic, load, air conditioning use, and driving style.
Q4: Should I calculate mileage over multiple fill-ups?
A: Yes, calculating over several tanks gives a more accurate average than a single measurement.
Q5: Does the calculator work for electric vehicles?
A: No, this calculator is for fuel-powered vehicles. EVs use different metrics like kWh per 100 km.
