MPG tells you how efficiently a car uses gas. Higher MPG usually means you buy less gas for the same miles.

Technical Definition

“Miles to the gallon” (MPG) is a measure of fuel economy—how far the car goes on one gallon of gas. Higher MPG generally means lower fuel cost for the same driving distance, which is why it’s central to the gas-price math being discussed.
