I think I have worked this out correctly....

The tank is roughly 40 Litres to fill.
I spend 80.9p a Litre most the time.
Thats 40 x 0.809 = £32.36 to fill up roughly.

4.45 UK Litres = 1 UK Gallon? (I think)

Thats 40/4.45 = roughly 8.99 Gallons.

I am getting about 250 Miles from my full tank all town driving which works out to be about....

250/8.99 = 27.81 MPG

Please feel free to correct me if I am wrong anywhere!!

Thanks

Chris

Sounds about right, Birty, particularly if all your driving is on the urban cycle.

God, where do you live to get petrol at 80.9p a litre though?! I thought the 84/85p I generally pay was cheap. The last time I filled up (yesterday) I managed to squeeze about 42 litres in, cost me about £36.50 including the egg and bacon sandwich I bought at the time... I'm gonna use the mileage calculator on the other thread to see what mpg I'm doing, I expect it to be around 32mpg with a mix of mostly town but some motorway driving.

Birty, yeh thats about right - I work it out as 28.38 mpg.

Use the link to this site, its easy to use:

But yeh - petrol here (Brighton) is like 87.9!!! jeeeeesus!
