US or UK MPG?

[Kris12]

Hi, quick question, when you talk about MPG, is it UK units? Or is the Audis set to US units from factory. A lot of difference between the two.. Mine shows l/100 km.

As you're in mainland Europe you run in KM so the l/100km is correct.

Not sure why you posted in Site Issues though

I posted in site issues because its an issue I have with this site.

My question is: when you (the people on this forum) talk about MPG, is that in UK or US units?

(The reason why I ask is because I have a high fuel consumption, and want to know whats normal for this car. I have been searching and found some posts about it, and what to do. I just dont know how to convert your MPG to l/100 km, because I dont know which MPG you use.)

See http://www.digitaldutch.com/unitconverter/ for converting from UK MPG to US MPG or to l/100 km.

Well we're in the UK so UK mpg units.

Put your l/100km into this Convert MPG to Litre (Miles Per Gallon to Liter Converter) and it'll tell you the UK equivalent MPG or the opposite.

There's a clue in the site address as well, .co.uk...

UK gallon 4.55 litres

US Gallon 3.5 litres

Remember that when you do any conversions from litres/100km to Miles per either Imperial or US Gallons

One thing to think about is that the readings on the display are not particularly accurate: my Mk5 Golf (Bluemotion) tells me that it is averaging 58.9 MPG at the moment, having dropped from 59MPG a fortnight ago as the winter weather gets colder. However, using the actual figures (mileage, cost/litre and total cost of fuel added) in a spreadsheet shows it is actually doing 51.89 MPG (about 1MPG less than my 100BHP Mk4 Golf estate).
