Reset at constant speed after everything is well warmed up, including the tires. This eliminates a lot of variables. So that is not representative of overall MPGs but is the best for repeatable conditions. Winds from the front or side hurt MPGs. New engines will be a bit low until bedded in. Tires that are soft from not having air added with the colder temperatures of winter will really reduce MPGs. Expect close to 29-30 mpg(us) with an automatic. With a manual, 31 mpgs are typical but can be higher under ideal conditions. A 10% ethanol fuel will increase consumption by around 6% compared to lower ethanol fuels. So that increases you real cost at the pump by 6%!
mpg(US) = 11.5km/L x 2.352 = 27.05
mpg(Imperial) = 11.5km/L x 2.825
One US gallon is .833 Imperial gallons. The US gallon is based on the wine gallon, not the beer or common gallon. Why? Wine/port was imported from europe and those containers were around and reused. And also note that the wine ounce is different too, so the gallon ratio is not the ratio of the number of ounces in each gallon! Thats how you get to .833
