Mileage reimbursement = Miles x IRS Rate. The 2024 IRS standard mileage rate is 67 cents per mile for business, 21 cents for medical/moving, 14 cents for charity. Example: 500 business miles x 0.67 = 335 reimbursement. Track dates, purpose, start/end odometer for tax documentation.
MPG (Miles Per Gallon) = Total Miles Driven ÷ Gallons of Fuel Used. Fill your tank, reset trip odometer, drive normally, then fill again. Divide miles driven by gallons to fill.
Average new car: 25-30 MPG. Fuel-efficient cars: 35-45 MPG. Hybrids: 45-60 MPG. EVs: 100+ MPGe. Trucks/SUVs: 15-22 MPG. Your actual MPG varies with driving style, conditions, and maintenance.
Tips: Drive smoothly (avoid rapid acceleration/braking), maintain steady speed, use cruise control, keep tires properly inflated, remove excess weight, reduce idling, keep up with maintenance, avoid excessive speeds.
Factors: Driving style (aggressive vs. calm), speed (efficiency drops above 50 mph), traffic conditions, weather (cold reduces MPG), terrain (hills use more fuel), vehicle condition, tire pressure, A/C use, cargo weight.
Burning 1 gallon of gasoline produces about 8.9 kg (19.6 lbs) of CO2. A car getting 25 MPG driving 12,000 miles/year produces about 4.3 metric tons of CO2. Diesel produces about 10.2 kg per gallon.
