1. What is Mileage Calculation?

Mileage calculation measures how many kilometers a vehicle can travel per liter of fuel consumed. It's a key indicator of a vehicle's fuel efficiency and helps in comparing different vehicles' performance.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the mileage formula:

Where:

• \( Distance \) — Kilometers traveled
• \( Fuel \) — Liters of fuel consumed

Explanation: The formula simply divides the distance traveled by the amount of fuel used to determine kilometers per liter (km/l).

3. Importance of Mileage Calculation

Details: Calculating mileage helps vehicle owners track fuel efficiency, identify maintenance issues, and estimate fuel costs for trips. It's also useful for comparing different driving conditions or styles.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: For accurate results, fill your tank completely before your trip, reset your trip meter, then after driving, fill up again and note the liters added. Enter the trip meter reading as distance and the fuel added as fuel consumed.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is considered good mileage?
A: This varies by vehicle type. Generally, 15-20 km/l is good for most cars, while motorcycles may achieve 30-50 km/l.

Q2: Why does my mileage vary?
A: Mileage depends on driving conditions (city vs highway), speed, vehicle maintenance, load, and weather conditions.

Q3: How can I improve my vehicle's mileage?
A: Regular maintenance, proper tire inflation, smooth acceleration/braking, and reducing unnecessary weight can help.

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 air conditioning affect mileage?
A: Yes, AC can reduce mileage by 5-15%, especially at lower speeds.
