UK MPG vs US MPG

[Grayfox]

I have a quick question.

My car is currently doing 7.7l/100km or 37.8MPG.

Since a UK gallon is equal to 4.54 Liters and a US gallon is equal to 3.78 Liters.

My car is a Honda Civic Si 5Dr Hatch which was built in Swindon, UK so I would assume it is using the UK version of gallons right?

km/l to US MPG is:

km/l * 2.35 = USmpg (I use this all the time in my work)

So... 100 / 7.7 = 12.99 km/l

12.99 km/l * 2.35 = 30.52 MPG

So, yes, 37.8 would be UK MPG.

Thanks niky.

I use it all the time for my work as I'm constantly having to translate between different figures...
