Hello,
I was looking at your conversion and I think it's off a little.

To convert liters to gallons:
(multply liters by 0.2642 to get gallons)
55 liters = 14.53 gallons

To convert kilometers to miles
(multply kilometers by 0.62 to get miles)
385 kilometers is equal to 239.23 miles

So you drove 239.23 miles and burned 14.53 gallons of fuel.

For that trip you got

16.46 miles per gallon.

I agree with Batman722 and Starcraftjunkie that a tune up (plugs, wires, cap, rotor, fuel filter, air filter, pcv valve) would be time and money well spent.


If you're still getting low mpg after the tuneup check for Diagnostic Trouble Codes.
