Rather easier to remember is 1 gallon equals 4.55 litres.
Even easier, given the above, is that 45mpg equals (within a gnat's) 10 miles to a litre. S fill up, drive, fill up again. If you've done (for example) 320 miles you know that anything less than 32 litres is abve 45mpg and therefore good, and anything more than 32 litres is below 45mpg and therefore not so good. No actual calculation needed.

True, but fuel's always been so cheap there I don't suppose anyone ever bothers working out consumption!

One thing I can add to this post is this useless fact

My petrol BXs get the same range in Kms as the Diesel does in Miles, just thought put this irrelevant fact in there as the Diesel is the UK import and in miles.
