1. What is Vehicle Mileage?

Vehicle mileage, also known as fuel economy, measures how far a vehicle can travel per unit of fuel consumed. It's typically expressed in kilometers per liter (km/L) or miles per gallon (mpg).

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the mileage formula:

Where:

• Distance — Total distance traveled (in kilometers)
• Fuel — Total fuel consumed (in liters)

Explanation: The formula calculates how many kilometers the vehicle can travel on one liter of fuel.

3. Importance of Mileage Calculation

Details: Calculating mileage helps vehicle owners understand fuel efficiency, compare different vehicles, track performance changes over time, and estimate fuel costs for trips.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter distance in kilometers and fuel consumed in liters. For accurate results, measure fuel consumption over a significant distance (at least 100km) and ensure your fuel tank is filled to the same level when measuring.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is considered good mileage?
A: Good mileage varies by vehicle type. Generally, 15-20 km/L is good for cars, while motorcycles may achieve 30-50 km/L.

Q2: How can I improve my vehicle's mileage?
A: Regular maintenance, proper tire inflation, smooth driving, reducing excess weight, and using recommended fuel can improve mileage.

Q3: Why does my mileage vary?
A: Mileage varies with driving conditions (city vs highway), traffic, vehicle load, weather, and maintenance status.

Q4: Should I calculate mileage over multiple tanks?
A: Yes, calculating over several tanks provides a more accurate average as single-tank measurements can be affected by fill variations.

Q5: How does mileage affect the environment?
A: Higher mileage means less fuel consumption per km, resulting in lower CO2 emissions and reduced environmental impact.
