Using the link, the exact formula is ( 282.5 / value ) to convert from one to the other! So 19 is 14.8MPG and 13 is 21.7MPG


I came up with the formula in an earlier thread, http://www.disco3.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.ph...mula#29224 , and actually my calculations gave me something like ( 268 / value ) for the conversion. Doing the arithmetic again now, it seems I got it wrong Embarassed Embarassed Embarassed . The link is right, not me - sorry, everybody! How I came up with 268, I cannot now say. I thought I had maybe taken US gallons but that doesn't work either.

Just so someone (?TFC Very Happy ) can check the result this time, here's the calculation:
1 mile = 1.6093 km
1 gallon = 4.546 litres

value mpg => ( 1.6093 * value ) / 4.546 kms/litre

Turning it upside down and multipling by 100 to get litres/100 kms
(4.546 * 100) / (1.6093 * value ) = 282.5 => litres/100 kms )
<<<<

( 280 / value ) would thus be a sensible mental arithmetic formula.

For completeness sake and our American cousins, I make the conversion from US gallons to be ( 235.2 / value); say ( 240 / value ), if you're doing it in your head.


Sorry again about the boob Sad I'll correct the other thread.

See the original post, TFC Laughing


P.S. I guess it just shows I'm on the 'insanity' side!

yer, had to take several screen breaks that the punctuation didn't allow for Whistle
'Big Blue' is not only the IBM supercomputer that the Chinks (Lenovo) now own, but is also my 'pet' name for a litre bottle of Bombay Sapphire.... Wink
guess which'll be assisting in the calculation checking 8)
