What is MPG?

MPG (Miles Per Gallon) is the standard measure of a car’s fuel efficiency. It tells you how far a vehicle can travel on one gallon of fuel, helping drivers understand real-world fuel economy and overall running costs.

At Total Car Check, you can run a free MPG check simply by entering a vehicle’s registration number. Our report instantly shows the car’s official fuel consumption figures, estimated annual fuel costs, and CO2 emissions.

What is MPG for Electric Cars?

If you’re looking at electric cars, you might wonder how fuel economy works without petrol or diesel. Instead of MPG, electric vehicles use MPGe – Miles Per Gallon Equivalent. This rating shows how far an EV can travel using the same amount of energy found in one gallon of petrol (around 33.7 kWh of electricity).

Checking MPGe and energy consumption is essential when deciding which electric car is right for you. Instead of providing MPGe our free initial check tells you the range and real world charging and driving costs for any UK registered electric vehicle.

Why Should You Check MPG Before Buying a Car?

Fuel is often the biggest ongoing cost of owning a car. By checking MPG you can:
  • See the fuel economy and efficiency of any vehicle.
  • Estimate the cost to run based on average mileage.
  • Understand CO2 emissions and road tax implications.
  • Compare MPG ratings between cars to find the most economical option.

This helps you avoid cars that look affordable to buy but cost more to run over time.
