Miles Per Gallon Calculator
The Miles Per Gallon Calculator is a valuable tool for vehicle owners, helping to determine the fuel efficiency of their cars, trucks, or SUVs by calculating the distance traveled per unit of fuel consumed, providing insights into fuel consumption patterns, and enabling informed decisions on vehicle maintenance, driving habits, and environmental impact.
How it Works
The Miles Per Gallon (MPG) calculation is based on a simple formula: MPG = Total Distance Traveled / Total Gallons Consumed. This formula provides a straightforward way to assess a vehicle's fuel efficiency, allowing drivers to monitor their fuel consumption and make adjustments to reduce their environmental footprint.
| Total Distance Traveled (miles) | Total Gallons Consumed | MPG |
|---|---|---|
| 100 | 10 | 10 |
| 200 | 15 | 13.33 |
| 300 | 20 | 15 |
| 400 | 25 | 16 |
| 500 | 30 | 16.67 |
