Gas mileage, also known as fuel economy, is a measure of how far a vehicle can travel on a certain amount of fuel.
Gas mileage is calculated by dividing the distance traveled by the amount of fuel used. The result is typically given in miles per gallon (MPG) or kilometers per liter (KPL).
Factors that can affect gas mileage include the type of vehicle, driving conditions, driving habits, and the quality of the fuel used.
What constitutes a good gas mileage depends on the type of vehicle and its intended use. Generally, a higher MPG or KPL rating is considered better.
There are several ways to improve gas mileage, such as maintaining proper tire pressure, driving at a steady pace, avoiding rapid acceleration and braking, and using the recommended grade of motor oil.
City gas mileage is the fuel economy a vehicle achieves when driving in stop-and-go traffic and at lower speeds, while highway gas mileage is the fuel economy achieved when driving at higher speeds and on open roads.
Hybrid gas mileage refers to the fuel economy of a hybrid vehicle, which combines a gasoline-powered engine with an electric motor to achieve better gas mileage than traditional gasoline-powered vehicles.
