Car Math: Fuel Economy & Actual MPG

Introduction

Fuel economy is one of the most important factors for car buyers. It’s also one of the most confusing, because it’s hard to measure accurately. We’ll go over how fuel economy works and what factors affect it in this post.

For every gallon you put into your car, you burn about 19 gallons of fuel.

If you put one gallon of fuel into your car, it will burn about 19 gallons of fuel. You might be thinking that’s a pretty big difference, but this is actually just an estimate based on averages and doesn’t take into account many other factors. The more often you drive and the longer each trip is, the more wear and tear on both your car and yourself (and possibly others).

In addition to being expensive in terms of money spent at the pump and time wasted behind the wheel, driving also takes away from other activities such as exercising or spending time with friends.

Fuel economy can vary greatly depending on how much you drive and what type of car you drive.

Fuel consumption can vary greatly depending on how much you drive and what type of car you drive. The average fuel economy for a passenger vehicle in the United States is 23 mpg, but this number can be affected by many factors.

• The most obvious one is how often you fill up your tank. If you only fill up once every couple weeks, then it’s likely that your car will use more gas than if it were being filled up every day or two.
• Another factor affecting fuel economy is driving style: aggressive driving will burn more gasoline than relaxed cruising (although both styles may result in different levels of enjoyment).

Conclusion

Fuel economy is a very important factor in purchasing a car, but it’s not the only one. You should also consider things like safety and performance when choosing your next vehicle.
