Welcome to MPG calculator, our article about the calculation of miles per gallon, usually abbreviated as MPG.
Our miles per gallon calculator basically divides the distance in miles by the amount of gallons used, something which is known as fuel economy.
Talking about gallons, make sure to understand that the volume in a US liquid gallon (3.785411784 L) is different from the volume of an imperial gallon (4.54609 L), aka UK gallon.
Using our tool you can get both, MPG US as well as MPG UK, yet the result will be given in miles per US gallons if you choose UK gallons from the drop-down menu.
Our MPG calculator is particularly useful in calculating the real MPG, which is usually less than the official or advertised fuel economy.
In terms of gas cost and for the environment, the higher the MPG value the better.
Our MPG calculator is straightforward, just make sure to understand that if you choose UK gallons than the fuel economy is about twenty percent higher compared to US gallons.
To calculate MPG you have to divide the distance traveled by the gallons consumed, this gives you the true MPG. The miles per gallon formula is MPG = [mi] / [gal].
