Mileage Formula:
| From: | To: |
Gas mileage, also known as fuel economy, measures how far a vehicle can travel on a specific amount of fuel. In the Philippines, it's typically measured in kilometers per liter (km/l), indicating how many kilometers a vehicle can travel using one liter of fuel.
The calculator uses a simple formula:
Where:
Explanation: This calculation gives you the fuel efficiency of your vehicle, showing how many kilometers you can drive per liter of fuel.
Details: Tracking your vehicle's fuel efficiency helps you monitor its performance, identify potential mechanical issues, and better plan your fuel expenses. In the Philippines with fluctuating fuel prices, knowing your mileage can help significantly with budgeting transportation costs.
Tips: For accurate results, reset your trip meter when filling up your tank, then note the distance traveled and fuel used at your next fill-up. Enter both values in kilometers and liters respectively.
Q1: What is considered good mileage in the Philippines?
A: This varies by vehicle type, but generally, 10-15 km/l is good for sedans, while 15-20+ km/l is excellent for smaller cars and hybrids.
Q2: How can I improve my vehicle's mileage?
A: Regular maintenance, proper tire inflation, smooth acceleration, and reducing unnecessary weight can all help improve fuel efficiency.
Q3: Does traffic affect mileage calculations?
A: Yes, heavy traffic typically reduces fuel efficiency due to frequent stopping and starting. For the most accurate measurement, calculate mileage over various driving conditions.
Q4: Should I use full tank method for calculation?
A: The full tank method (filling up completely, driving, then refilling) is the most accurate way to calculate mileage as it eliminates measurement errors.
Q5: Are there apps that can track my mileage automatically?
A: Yes, several smartphone apps can track your mileage using GPS and fuel purchase data, providing ongoing monitoring of your vehicle's fuel efficiency.
