Default Re: Another MPG question

[quote=Flash] ...how my wife dropped my awesome FE from Milwaukee. /QUOTE]

145 miles / 54.5 MPG = 2.6606 gallons used.
175 miles / 51.5 MPG = 3.3981 gallons used.

So, 35 miles / 0.7375 gallons used = 47.46 MPG.

Keep in mind that using small numbers (gallons used, here, and 35 miles) limits the assuredness of the calculations, but it's some idea.

Not too bad, really. Especially since she doesn't have the same affliction that you do
