Common Conversion Factors

Understanding fuel efficiency

Fuel efficiency, often expressed in miles per gallon (mpg), indicates how far a vehicle can travel on a specific volume of fuel. In this case, the Prius has a rating of 52 miles per gallon, which means it can travel 52 miles for every gallon of gasoline consumed. This concept is crucial for calculating the total distance based on the amount of gasoline available.
