How do you read fuel economy numbers?

How do you read fuel economy numbers?

Divide the number of miles you drove by the amount of gas you used. For example, if you drove 100 miles with a full tank and filled up five gallons of gas, you got 10 mpg. When it comes to gas mileage, it’s important to know how much your vehicle is costing you every time you drive.

What do fuel economy numbers mean?

Fuel economy refers to the number of miles a car can travel using a specific amount of fuel. It’s measured in miles per gallon or miles per gallon gasoline equivalent (or MPGe) for electric vehicles. The more miles per gallon a car gets, the farther it can go on a tank of gas and the better its fuel economy.
