    Its an approx calculation but yeah that sounds about right (if a little on the conservatiev side)

    20 MPG at best, for mostly motorway driving.... not the most economical :P

    mpg - miles per gallon

    so divide the miles by the gallons (gallons are litres divided by 4.54)

    62 mpg. Hyundai i20, 1.2.

    I should add that there was very little town driving during this test - distance travel mainly with very little stop/start driving, and steady speeds of 80-100 kph.

    e39 525 auto; get about 28/29 on motorway / national road commute and about 23/24 in city driving. That's taking it handy.
