    1 gallon = 4.54 litres

    14.2 divided by 4.54 equals 3.13 gallons.

    140 miles divided by 3.13 gallons equals 44.73mpg

    Depends on what driving you were doing.
    All long trips well behaved I would expect better.

    Mixed town/journeys you are about on the button

    All short stop start around town you are doing great
