I get about 24 mpg on 2003 Honda accord I4 2.4L Automatic gear. That translates to 10.2 Km/L combined Highway and city. I have not done highway different from city computations. I get between 18-19 mpg on 2006 Toyota Prado I4 2.7L Manual gear full time 4x4. Translating to 7.65 - 8.1 Km/L combined. Testing this one correctly is a bit of a challenge for me because of its huge dual tank (90 + 90= 180L) and a faulty full gauge that sometimes tells a big lie! I have had the car stall on the highway while gauge is at a quarter only to lay flat after i turn the ignition off and on. |

Honda city 1.5 litre engine with 42 litre capacity. Averaged 40 mpg on my last trip to and from lag. However with a fully loaded boot (yams, cocoa yams, gallons of red oil etc) and three adults and and infant, same car averaged 10km per litre during this xmas trip. Covered 220kms with 21 litres. Route included lots of hill climbs though. Guess all the load bogged the engine down. 1 Like |

1 Go to the gas station and fill up the fuel tank. This may sting a little, but it is key to getting an accurate reading. Image titled Calculate Your Car's Fuel Efficiency (MPG) Step 2 2 Record the mileage. Before even pulling away from the pump, write down your current mileage. We will call this Mileage A. Image titled Calculate Your Car's Fuel Efficiency (MPG) Step 3 3 Drive normally. To get as accurate a reading as possible, drive until the tank is less than half full. The longer you can go before getting gas, the better. Image titled Calculate Your Car's Fuel Efficiency (MPG) Step 4 4 Fill up the tank again. Try to use the same station using the same pump as the first fill up, as pumps may be calibrated differently. This time, pay attention to how many gallons it takes to fill up the tank. This is usually shown at the pump. We will call this Gallons. Image titled Calculate Your Car's Fuel Efficiency (MPG) Step 5 5 Record the mileage again. This number we will call Mileage B. Image titled Calculate Your Car's Fuel Efficiency (MPG) Step 6 6 Do the math. The formula for determining your MPG is this: MPG = (Mileage B - Mileage A)÷Gallons. Subtract Mileage A from Mileage B. This will give you the number of miles you drove since your last fill-up. Divide your answer by the number of gallons (Gallons B) it took to fill up your tank. This will give you your car's MPG. Method 2 Example Let's say you have a new car and want to track its mileage: Trip A: Added 8.663 gal at 3,117 mi Trip B: Added 9.251 gal at 3,579 mi Trip C: Added 8.876 gal at 4,017 mi Method 3 Mileage Calculation Answers Trip A: Baseline, does not count. Trip B: (3,579 mi - 3,117 mi) / 9.251 gal = 49.9 mpg Trip C: (4,017 mi - 3,579 mi) / 8.876 gal = 49.3 mpg Method 4 Additional Accuracy Image titled Calculate Your Car's Fuel Efficiency (MPG) Step 7 1 Verify your odometer. Not all cars reflect accurate odometer readings. This will not only incorrectly reflect the number of miles you've driven, it will also give you an inaccurate picture of your MPG. Many freeways have "mileage check sections." They are stretches of road several miles or kilometers long, with mileage markers along the way. If one near you has this feature, use it. Otherwise, look on the map and find a stretch of road or freeway, and mark out an accurate 5 or 10 mile (or kilometer) distance. Image titled Calculate Your Car's Fuel Efficiency (MPG) Step 8 2 Go to the first marker. Set your trip odometer to 0 as you pass the marker. At the end of the run, note your trip odometer. An accurate odometer will reflect the distance you traveled. If your odometer is higher than the distance traveled, your fuel efficiency will be better than you had calculated. You actually traveled further than you calculated with just the straight odometer reading. Conversely, if your odometer is lower than the actual distance traveled, your MPG is lower as well. Image titled Calculate Your Car's Fuel Efficiency (MPG) Step 9 3 Calculate the offset. We will call the actual distance traveled "A," and the miles shown on the trip odometer "T". We'll call offset "O." The formula for determining the offset is: O=A÷T. For example, if you travel 5 miles, and your odometer says you've traveled 4-1/2, your formula would read: O = 5÷4.5; O=1.11. To get your actual mileage for your MPG formula, you would subtract Mileage A from Mileage B as normal, then multiply the result by 1.11 before finishing your MPG calculation. If Mileage B - Mileage A = 100, multiply by O (1.11). In this example, you actually traveled 111 miles. If your odometer says you traveled 5-1/2 miles, your formula would read: O=5÷5.5; O=.91. Again, you would multiply Mileage B - Mileage A by O. If Mileage B - Mileage A = 100, multiply by O (0.91). In this example, you only traveled 91 miles. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Primera '98 1.6L In the City: 9 to 10KM per Litre depending on how much Hold-Up i encountered. On the Highway: About 15KM per Litre. I actually checked the thread and found some lies and some errors. Bet why? Even some converted their own fuel statistics in Miles and Gallons Buying fuel in Litres is much more common here in our country so be realistic, calculate the amount of fuel your car actually use and stop posting what you see on other sites. It is simple to know how many litres your car consume in Kilometers. Saying you don't know or don't care doesn't make you smart. Bn Rich or having some little change in your pocket shouldn't make you unintelligent and ignorant. Be smart! Know exactly where your fuel gauge is, preferably half tank or reserve, then fill up with a specific amount of fuel in Litres. Immediately, set your odometer to 000 so it can start counting how many KM you have covered from that point onwards. (your Odometer should be on the dashboard, google your car model to find out) Drive your vehicle till you use up the litres of fuel u bought i.e till your fuel guage is back to the position it was before u refill your Tank. When you are done, check your odometer and see how many Kilometers you have used, then divide it with the amount of fuel you bought. For example, If you buy 10L of fuel and at the end of the day you covered a total of 80KM before fuel guage returns to previous position, then you divide 80KM u covered by the 10L u bought. Which means your car does roughly 8KM for every 1 Litre Make sure u don't drive aggressively throughout the hours/days you will use for the test in order to get a perfect result. Also note that bad road, hold-ups, car health etc could contribute to increase in fuel usage. 7 Likes |

nakoks: You are very very right with this. I used this c200 for over 2months. Walai, fuel doesn't reduce no matter how far you drive. It was doing at worst 10km/litre of fuel. I just switched to c240 v6 and I'm crying blood. Its doing like 5km/litre at best. I miss the c200 only for its fuel economy. |
Re: How Many Kilometres Can Your Car Travel Per Litre Of Fuel? by sacramento1212: 2:35pm On Oct 21, 2018 |
nairamaniac: Your C240 definitely has issues and once you resolve it, you will enjoy it. Even though the standard consumption wouldn't be like the C200 because they don't have the same engine spec but the difference won't be much whether for city or highway drive. 2 Likes |

Ivoo: Oh that explains why I always get half tank to Benin in all of my cars 120/140kph that is my play area. Then when I am heading to Lagos which I know very well, 160kph enters the mix. Actually I am aiming for 180kph only that the road does not allow me, so I sleep on 160 till the road drives me out of it. |
