| mpg? A silly question really - as I'm lazy and hate to do the arithmetic myself, does someone have a quick answer as to how your mpg equates to our km per liter? I forgot which gallon you use in the UK...

| We use the Imperial Gallon, not the US Gallon  To convert imperial to metric, multiply by the factor shown on the right. To convert metric to imperial divide by the factor shown. Fuel Consumption Gallons per Mile - Litres per Kilometre 2.825 Miles per Gallon - Kilometres per Litre 0.354 |

| I take the fuel put in....times that figure (litres) by 0.22 to give the gallons equivalent. Then divide the mileage covered by the gallons to give your mpg. Of course dont forget to brim the tank each fill to give you correct readings. Dont forget the air bleed valve just down the filler neck to help release the air quicker.( push it down with the pump nozzle as its spring loaded). Cheers

| Or use this site here which is in or web links and which can be used to convert all sorts of useful figures - but not a vRS into a car I would prefer over a 4X4.
