   Actually, the formula is quite simple. You start with the number of liters per 100 km, and then follow these steps…

   1 Divide by 100 to get liters per km.

   2 The kilometer is 1000 meters, so multiply by 1000 to get liters per meter.

   3 The meter is about 39 inches, so divide by 39 to get liters per inch.

   4 There are 63,360 inches to the mile, so multiply by that number, and you have liters per mile.

   5 The liter is 1.06 quarts, so multi… no, divide by 1.06 to get quarts per mile.

   6 Finally, since there are four quarts in a gallon, you divide by four to get miles per gallon.

   See? Once you know how to do it, it’s simple. Let’s take my fuel usage (9 L / 100 km) and see how it works.

   9 / 100 * 1000 / 39 * 63360 / 1.06 / 4 = 34,484.76 mpg

   Ummm… I may have made a mistake in there somewhere, but you can see basically how it works.

   I get down to about 8 L/100 km out on the highway, but I don’t go out of town that often. It’s not bad, considering that the car is 18 years old.

   This is why people should move to a new home regularly. It forces people to get rid of a lot of junk.

   A man once had a nightmare so terrifying that he chewed his pillow to bits. The next morning, someone asked him how he was feeling, and he replied: “A little down in the mouth”.

   There’s nothing like a good joke, and that was nothing like a good joke.

   I have no idea how many miles my car gets to the gallon, but I know it uses about 9 liters per 100 km.
