On my trip to Cardiff last month, I did 466miles on a total of 54.9 litres of petrol (forgot to take down the mileage after my refill).

So how do I work out the mpg?
Are you guys using a UK Gallon?

What do UK car brouchers use when quoting mpg? US or UK?

Haha I've got an old receipt for petrol from my car here from Mar06.
I bought 28.46 litres of petrol for.... *drum roll* £25.02 :D

Oh those were the days

i remember paying 67p a liter when i firsts passed, that was only back 2003,

I'm not sure what they use but i use UK, type "mpg calculator" into Google and there's one called torque cars.

I only get about 30mpg

An induction kit is the worst thing you can do for MPG though! I find myself always driving with my foot down :lol:
