Miles per gallon

Fuel economy measure used to estimate gallons consumed over a route.

Why It Matters

Miles per gallon affects fuel-cost estimates used in freight pricing or route math. It is an estimate unless the contract defines the formula.

What to Check

• Confirm the formula and data source used for miles per gallon.
• Keep base price, current price, MPG and miles in the same units.
• Do not treat calculator output as a guaranteed reimbursement amount.
