Data Source and Methodology

All calculations are based on standard mathematical formulas for determining fuel efficiency. Ensure accuracy by using precise measurements for miles traveled and fuel consumed.

The Formula Explained

The formula used to calculate MPG is:

MPG = \frac{\text{Miles Traveled}}{\text{Gallons Used}}

Glossary of Terms

Miles Traveled: The total distance covered by the vehicle.
Gallons Used: The total amount of fuel consumed.
MPG: Miles per gallon, a measure of fuel efficiency.

How It Works: A Step-by-Step Example

Suppose your car traveled 300 miles and used 10 gallons of fuel. The MPG would be calculated as:

MPG = \frac{300}{10} = 30
