Tips to Improve Fuel Efficiency

  • •Keep tires properly inflated (check monthly) - can improve MPG by up to 3%
  • •Remove excess weight from your vehicle - every 100 lbs reduces MPG by 1-2%
  • •Avoid aggressive acceleration and braking - smooth driving can save 15-30%
  • •Use cruise control on highways to maintain consistent speed
  • •Drive at moderate speeds - MPG typically drops above 50 mph
  • •Keep up with regular maintenance - air filters, spark plugs, oil changes

Quick Answer

To calculate MPG: divide miles driven by gallons used. Formula: MPG = Miles Driven / Gallons Used. For example, if you drove 350 miles on 12 gallons: 350 / 12 = 29.2 MPG. For accurate results, fill your tank completely, reset trip odometer, drive normally, then fill again and note gallons added and miles driven.

Key Facts

  • MPG Formula: Miles Driven / Gallons Used = MPG
  • L/100km Formula: (Liters Used / Km Driven) x 100
  • EPA combined MPG is 55% city / 45% highway weighted
  • Actual MPG is often 10-20% lower than EPA estimates
  • City MPG is typically 20-30% worse than highway MPG
  • Every 5 mph over 50 mph costs approximately $0.25/gallon in efficiency
  • Properly inflated tires improve MPG by up to 3%
  • A clean air filter can improve MPG by up to 10%

Frequently Asked Questions

Fill your tank completely and note the odometer. Drive normally until you need fuel again. Fill up completely and note gallons used and new odometer reading. Divide miles driven by gallons used. Example: 350 miles ÷ 12 gallons = 29.2 MPG.

Miles driven ÷ Gallons used = MPG. Track from fill-up to fill-up.

Driving habits (speed, acceleration, braking), tire pressure (underinflated tires reduce MPG by 0.2% per PSI), vehicle maintenance (air filters, spark plugs), weight (100 lbs reduces MPG by 1-2%), weather (cold reduces efficiency), AC use, and aerodynamics.

Speed, tire pressure, maintenance, weight, weather, AC use, driving habits.

Depends on vehicle type. Excellent: 40+ MPG (hybrids, small cars). Good: 30-40 MPG (compact/midsize). Average: 25-30 MPG (sedans, crossovers). Below average: 20-25 MPG (SUVs, larger vehicles). Poor: under 20 MPG (trucks, older vehicles).

Excellent: 40+. Good: 30-40. Average: 25-30. Below average: under 25 MPG.

At $3.50/gallon and 12,000 miles/year: Improving from 25 to 30 MPG saves $80/year. From 20 to 25 MPG saves $168/year. From 30 to 40 MPG saves $150/year. Small improvements add up significantly over time.

At 12k miles, $3.50/gal: 25→30 MPG saves $80/yr. 20→25 saves $168/yr.

It depends on your typical driving. EPA estimates show both. Highway MPG is typically 20-30% higher than city due to constant speeds and less braking. Most drivers get combined MPG closer to city rating. Track your actual driving for accurate numbers.

Highway usually 20-30% higher. Most drivers get closer to city rating.
