Key Fuel Efficiency Concepts
Miles Per Gallon (MPG)
The standard measure of fuel efficiency in the United States, representing how many miles a vehicle can travel on one gallon of fuel.
Liters Per 100 Kilometers (L/100km)
The standard measure of fuel efficiency in most countries, representing how many liters of fuel a vehicle uses to travel 100 kilometers.
Cost Per Mile
The amount of money spent on fuel for each mile traveled, calculated by dividing the total fuel cost by the distance traveled.
Fuel Economy
A measure of how efficiently a vehicle uses fuel, typically expressed as distance traveled per unit of fuel consumed.
Annual Fuel Cost
The estimated cost of fuel for a vehicle over a year, based on average annual mileage and current fuel prices.
Carbon Footprint
The amount of carbon dioxide emissions produced by burning fuel, which contributes to environmental impact.

Tips for Improving Fuel Efficiency
- Maintain Your Vehicle: Regular maintenance, including oil changes and tire pressure checks, can improve fuel efficiency.
- Drive Efficiently: Avoid rapid acceleration and braking, and maintain a steady speed when possible.
- Reduce Weight: Remove unnecessary items from your vehicle to reduce weight and improve efficiency.
- Use Cruise Control: On highways, cruise control can help maintain a consistent speed and improve fuel economy.
- Plan Your Routes: Avoid traffic congestion and choose routes with fewer stops and starts.
- Combine Trips: Running multiple errands in one trip reduces cold starts and improves overall efficiency.
