L... and worked out how many MPG I got by seeing how many kilometres I covered before I got back to the number of litres I had prior to filling up. Entered this information into a kilometres/miles converter and then ...
Is the odometer not reading in miles? This could explain the discrepancy. If you have converted a miles reading assuming it to be km, into to miles (when it was already miles), you're MPG should be around 40.0 -
I still think the calculations are wrong, or there is something wrong with your car.
You can do the sum on your calc
How many litres you have used = x
4.54 lites in a gallon
divded by the miles you have done.0 -

The gauge measures in kilometres, the total distance covered is displayed in miles.
I've used that website to calculate MPG, came up with the same result.0 -
Dispense with the website follow Lucy's and Landy Andys instructions with a calculator. I am sure their is an error in there.0

Hardly, I didn't just use that website, I've used 5-6.0

Hi If you post your readings at the end of the week . I will do the calculation for you.
Im also confused why is your car in kilometres. I thought they all were in miles

Don't ask me Titeascramp, the overall distance covered is in miles although the other counter which you can reset is in kilometres.0

thats a clever dashboard you have then.
get a pen and paper,note the mileage on the paper before filling up,then when empty note mileage again on the paper and do the maths.this will be the miles covered....work permit granted!0 -
Like I have said so many times, I have done this.
I filled the car, used up the amount I filled up with, counted how far I had gone and then worked out how many MPG I managed (25MPG).0
