Units of measurement

MPG

Also called: miles per gallon MPG means miles per gallon, a fuel-economy measure showing how far a vehicle travels for each gallon of liquid fuel. It is used for petrol, diesel and some hybrid-vehicle comparisons. Battery-electric vehicle efficiency is normally expressed in units such as miles per kWh or kWh per 100 km rather than MPG. Plug-in hybrids can have published fuel-economy figures that depend heavily on how much of the test cycle is completed using externally charged electricity. N
