Fuel economy in the UK is still quoted in miles per UK gallon. Because a UK gallon is larger, the same car gets a higher mpg figure in the UK than in the US.
| UK mpg | US mpg | Liters per 100 km |
|---|---|---|
| 30 | 25 | 9.4 |
| 40 | 33.3 | 7.1 |
| 50 | 41.6 | 5.6 |
| 60 | 50 | 4.7 |
Fuel is sold by the liter in the UK, but gallons survive in mpg figures, garden water butts, fish tanks and older recipes and manuals. Canada and Ireland also used the imperial gallon before going metric.
