Follow these expert tips to maximize your fuel efficiency
Maintain steady speed and avoid rapid acceleration
Keep tires properly inflated
Remove unnecessary weight from vehicle
Use cruise control on highways
Regular vehicle maintenance and tune-ups
Avoid excessive idling
Plan routes to avoid traffic congestion
Use air conditioning wisely
Learn how different driving conditions affect your vehicle's performance
Typically 20-30% lower efficiency due to frequent stops and starts
Better efficiency with steady speeds, optimal at 50-80 km/h
Vehicle condition, driving style, weather, and road conditions
Use the Trip Planner tab to estimate fuel needs and costs for upcoming trips. Enter your trip distance, vehicle mileage, and current fuel price to get accurate estimates.
Track multiple trips to monitor your average fuel efficiency over time. Add trips with custom names and view comprehensive statistics including total distance, fuel consumption, and costs.
Compare fuel efficiency across different vehicles to make informed decisions. See potential savings and identify the most economical option for your needs.
Fuel mileage, also known as fuel efficiency or fuel economy, measures how far a vehicle can travel per unit of fuel consumed. It's typically expressed as:
Mileage (km/L) = Distance Traveled (km) ÷ Fuel Used (L)
Higher mileage numbers indicate better fuel efficiency, meaning your vehicle travels farther on less fuel, resulting in lower operating costs and reduced environmental impact.
| Vehicle Type | Petrol (km/L) | Diesel (km/L) | MPG Equivalent |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small Hatchback | 18-25 | 22-28 | 42-59 |
| Sedan | 15-20 | 18-24 | 35-47 |
| SUV | 10-15 | 12-18 | 24-35 |
| Luxury Sedan | 8-12 | 10-15 | 19-28 |
| Hybrid | 20-30 | - | 47-70 |
| Motorcycle (150cc) | 40-60 | - | 94-141 |
| Scooter | 45-65 | - | 106-153 |
Note: Actual mileage varies based on driving conditions, maintenance, and individual driving habits. These are approximate ranges for reference.
By implementing these fuel-saving techniques, you can improve your vehicle's mileage by 20-40%. For a vehicle that typically gets 15 km/L, this could mean achieving 18-21 km/L, resulting in significant annual savings on fuel costs and reduced environmental impact.
Formula:
Monthly Cost = (Daily Distance × Days per Week × 4.33 ÷ Mileage) × Fuel Price
Example: If you drive 50 km daily, 5 days a week, with a vehicle mileage of 15 km/L and fuel price of ₹100/L:
Monthly Cost = (50 × 5 × 4.33 ÷ 15) × 100 = ₹7,217
| Annual Distance | Mileage (km/L) | Fuel Price (₹/L) | Annual Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10,000 km | 15 | ₹100 | ₹66,667 |
| 15,000 km | 15 | ₹100 | ₹1,00,000 |
| 20,000 km | 15 | ₹100 | ₹1,33,333 |
When deciding between petrol and diesel vehicles, consider:
To calculate mileage: (1) Fill your fuel tank completely, (2) Note the odometer reading, (3) Drive normally until you need to refuel, (4) Fill the tank again and note the liters filled, (5) Note the new odometer reading, (6) Calculate: Mileage = (New Reading - Old Reading) ÷ Liters Filled. For example, if you drove 450 km and filled 30 liters, your mileage is 15 km/L. Our calculator does this instantly.
Good mileage varies by vehicle type: Small cars: 18-25 km/L (42-59 MPG), Sedans: 15-20 km/L (35-47 MPG), SUVs: 10-15 km/L (24-35 MPG), Luxury cars: 8-12 km/L (19-28 MPG). Hybrid vehicles achieve 20-30 km/L (47-70 MPG). Two-wheelers: Scooters 45-65 km/L, Motorcycles 40-60 km/L. Higher numbers indicate better fuel efficiency and lower operating costs.
Improve mileage by: Driving smoothly - avoid rapid acceleration and hard braking (saves 15-30%). Maintain proper tire pressure - under-inflated tires reduce mileage by 3-5%. Regular maintenance - clean air filters, proper oil, tune-ups improve efficiency by 10-20%. Reduce weight - remove unnecessary items. Use cruise control on highways. Avoid excessive idling. Plan routes to avoid traffic. These techniques can improve mileage by 20-40% overall.
