Frequently asked questions
- Which fuel economy unit should I use?
- MPG for the US, km/L in much of Asia, and L/100km in the UK, EU and Australia. Use whichever your car or owner's manual reports.
- How do I find my real-world fuel economy?
- Fill the tank, reset the trip meter, drive normally, refill, and divide miles (or km) driven by the fuel added. Most modern cars also display average MPG/km-L on the dashboard.
- Does this work for diesel and EVs?
- It works for any liquid fuel โ petrol, diesel, premium. For EVs use the electricity cost estimator instead.
- Why does the per-mile cost change when I switch units?
- It shouldn't change much โ the underlying math is identical. Small differences come from rounding in your inputs.
