MPG / Gas Mileage Calculator

Compute your fuel economy from a fill-up: miles driven ÷ gallons used.

How it works

MPG = miles ÷ gallons. Cost per mile = price ÷ MPG. Annual cost assumes 15,000 miles per year.

Frequently asked questions

How do I measure MPG accurately?

Fill the tank, note the odometer, drive normally, then fill up again. Divide miles by gallons used to refill.

Why does MPG vary tank-to-tank?

Highway vs city driving, weather, tire pressure, cargo weight, and driving style all affect fuel economy.

Are the EPA numbers realistic?

The EPA numbers are lab-tested. Real-world MPG usually lands 10–20% below the sticker.

How does this compare to L/100 km?

L/100 km = 235.215 ÷ MPG. Lower is better in metric; higher is better in MPG.

What about hybrids?

Hybrids often exceed 40 MPG in city driving. Compare highway MPG when doing long road trips.
