How can you calculate your car's fuel efficiency?
I believe that some time ago you published to way to work out your car's fuel efficiency (in litres/100km and also how to convert to miles per gallon). I have made a note of this and use the calculation regularly, however I have just searched your website for this information in order to send it to a friend, but I can't find it.

How to calculate your car's efficiency is covered in this article: www.honestjohn.co.uk/faq/fuel-consumption. Also, this site is excellent if you're looking to convert from litres/100km to mpg: www.onlineconversion.com/fuel_consumption.htm

Real MPG enables you to register the fuel economy you are actually getting against your make and model of car, its engine and type of transmission.
Every time you enter an average consumption figure against your car, the overall average automatically adjusts to reflect it.
