miles / ltr x 4.546 = MTG
example: 131.1miles / 9.98ltr x 4.546 = 59.71 MTG |

See you guys are using all the wrong sums.
I use the equation, number of miles+number of overtakes+average lean angle, subtract fuel cost and multiply by grin factor = good day. You know it makes sense. |

so two or three people on here are saying that they are suddenly getting less mpg than before without changing style / routes etc .... so what has changed ? Has the quality of the petrol gone down (along with the price going up !) ?? Would petrol quality affect mpg to such an extent ??

All one mile commutes = 40mpg. Nice long rideouts with Mrs DJF = 50mpg. Normal usage = somewhere in between

Can't we get you brits to use the same as the rest of Europe and most of the world : Litres!! (aka 1000cm^3)
Always when I read these MPG threads, someone half way goes "oh wait, are those american or imperial?" Then it occurs to half the people doing the math that they were comparing different units of measure without converting... Soo.. ![]() |

I'm not talking about mpg, merely the amount I get to a tank of fuel which is is the same whether you're litres, gallons or over the pond gallons.
