Comparison b/w Civic SI, Civic DX-G, Corolla, & Matrix?

Discussion in 'Civic' started by griffin, Jun 3, 2004.

  1. All of the small cars that I've driven for more than one tank of
    fuel got more than 35mpg. A small non-sporty car that only got
    27mpg would be pretty poor in fuel economy for that type of car.

    Ya, my '97 Corolla SD gets an average of 37mpg city with a bit of highway
    ....note: this is imperial gallons (so roughly 44mpg US).

    Isn't that backwards? Imperial 37mpg is 30mpg US.

    An Imperial gallon is bigger than a puny U.S. gallon. The conversion
    factor is 1.2009499. To convert from IG to US, multiply by that
    factor. To convert MPG (in IG) to MPG (in US), divide by that factor.

    This assumes we are talking U.S. statute miles, and not U.K. admiralty
    miles or such.

    Now converting dollars/gallon from the U.S. system to the Can. one,
    that is more difficult.

    Oh right ...miles over gallons means it's a division. Yep ...I'm dumb.

    Thanks for clearing that up.

    Right. If it took 1 Imperial Gallon to go 37 miles, it would take 1.2 US
    Gallons to go those same 37 miles. 37/1.2=30mpg.
