Start-Stop Fuel Savings Test - 2015 Jaguar F-Type R Coupe Long-Term Road Test
We've tested start-stops system and have gotten surprising results, but can lightning strike twice with the 2015 Jaguar F-Type R?

So let's say you drive 22 miles a day in your 5.0 gal/100mi (20 mpg) car and want to know how much fuel you'll use each day. Multiply 22 and 5.0 to get 110, then divide by 100 to get 1.1. Alternatively you divide 22 by 20 to get 1.1.
Example two. Same car, but now you're taking a cross country trip and want to know how often you need to stop with an 18 gallon tank. Multiply 18 gallons by 20 mpg to get 360 miles of range. Or divide 18 by 5 to get 3.6, then multiply by 100 to get 360.
It's easy enough for most people to figure it out, no matter which reciprocal is used. But to state that mpg is "bad" just sounds arbitrary - even after reading the linked dissertation.
