Fuel per Mile

Processing...

The Fuel per Mile calculator computes average fuel consumption per mile based on an amount of fuel used over a distance traveled.

INSTRUCTIONS: Choose units and enter the following:

(g) Fuel Consumed
(m) Distance Traveled

Fuel per Mile (FPM): The results are returns in units of gallons per mile. However, these can be automatically converted to compatible units via the pull-down menu.

The Math / Science

The Fuel per Mile equation computes the average fuel consumption per unit traveled. The default units are miles and gallons, but the user can also use kilometers and liters or any combination of distance and volume units. The more common question is how many miles or kilograms does one consume on average per gallon or liter. To compute the Miles per Gallon click (HERE).

This answers the questions:

How much gas, petrol or diesel does it take me to go one mile or one kilometer.
How much gas per mile?
How much diesel per mile?
How much petrol per mile?
