miles per gallon
Car economy measure
Miles per gallon is a measure of fuel efficiency—how far a vehicle travels on one gallon of fuel.
Higher numbers mean better efficiency: My old truck only gets twelve miles per gallon.
Often abbreviated MPG.
The metric equivalent is kilometers per liter, though liters per hundred kilometers is more common outside the United States.
