Take part nowWe measure economy by miles to the gallon, but we measure in litres at the fuel pump - here you can convert between the two so you can more accurately judge your car's fuel economy.
Our car tests discover a car’s true mpg by simulating a rolling road in a lab, which means every car can be tested in the exact same way, and in the exact same environment.
The test roads imitate city, out-of-town and motorway driving for extended periods of time - something that the official tests don't do - which allows you to see how the mpg could affect your pocket depending on the roads you typically drive on.
