Question

I'm curious - what do you call it up there? Mileage? Kilometrage? lol

Anyway, when you say 'what's a good number to shoot for' and with your prior topic, it looks like most people here are disappointed in their gas 'mileage'. I know I was. One thing I noticed is winter mileage is worse than other times of the year
but even under optimum conditions the most I get is 24-25 mpg highway.
Driving stop 'n go in the winter yields around 20 mpg. I did install a K&N air filter and noticed a SLIGHT improvement in mpg. Can you translate that to kpg (or is it kpl? lol) ?

your KM per tank/100
multiply by 65

1.6 KM is equal to 1 Mile

so if a car is going 240 KM/H, that means it is going 150 MPH

divide 240 by 1.6 to get MPH
