Miles per gallon (UK)

Miles per gallon (UK) measures how far a vehicle can travel on one gallon of fuel in the United Kingdom. It is calculated by dividing the number of miles driven by the amount of fuel used in gallons. A higher figure indicates better fuel efficiency, meaning the vehicle uses less fuel to travel a certain distance. This metric helps consumers compare how economically different cars use fuel, which can influence purchasing and driving habits. It is specific to the UK measurement system, which uses imperial gallons, slightly larger than US gallons, affecting the actual numeric value.
