Miles Per Gallon (MPG) Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Miles Per Gallon (MPG) is:

\[ MPG = \frac{M}{G} \]

Where:

\( MPG \) is the Miles Per Gallon
\( M \) is the total miles travelled
\( G \) is the total gallons of fuel consumed

What is Miles Per Gallon?

Miles Per Gallon (MPG) is a measurement used primarily in the United States to show how far a vehicle can travel per gallon of fuel it consumes. It is a standard measure of a vehicle’s fuel efficiency, with a higher MPG indicating a more fuel-efficient vehicle. This measurement helps consumers compare the fuel efficiency of different vehicles and make informed decisions when purchasing a car.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Total Miles Travelled (M): 300 miles
Total Gallons of Fuel Consumed (G): 10 gallons

Step 1: Calculate the Miles Per Gallon:

\[ MPG = \frac{300}{10} = 30 \text{ MPG} \]

Therefore, the Miles Per Gallon (MPG) is 30 MPG.
