I had a eureka moment a few weeks ago.
I realised that:
9 litres per 100km is roughly two gallons per 60 miles = 30mpg
4.5 litres per 100km is roughly one gallon per 60 miles = 60mpg
Therefore...
6 litres per 100km is roughly 1.33 gallons per 60 miles = 50mpg
6.75 litres per 100km is roughly 1.5 gallons per 60 miles = 45mpg
7.5 litres per 100km is roughly 1.66 gallons per 60 miles = 40mpg
Sorry, driving so many kilometres in Israel I was trying to work out a simple mental system for conversion. Probably accurate to within 10% (I haven't checked it), but its close enough I think???
