Any idea what the average mileage is for the first 4 or 5 miles, with a cold engine?
First five minutes with a cold engine would be anywhere from about 20 MPG to 35 or 45 MPG, depending on the outside temperature and the average speed.
I get 50 to 53 MPG at 65 MPH.
Just be careful about what sort of gallons that you are converting into/from! There's the US gallon, and the Imperial gallon. (The Imperial gallon is about 1.201 US gallons.)

To convert x L/100 km to y MPG, perform:
235.2146 ÷ x L/100 km = y MPG (US liquid gallon), or 282.481 ÷ x L/100 km = y MPG (Imperial gallon)To convert a MPG to b L/100 km, perform:
235.2146 ÷ a mpg (US liquid gallon) = b L/100 km, or 282.481 ÷ a MPG (Imperial gallon) = b L/100 kmTo convert m km/L to n mpg, perform:
2.352146 * m km/L = n mpg (US liquid gallon), or 2.82481 * m km/L = n mpg (Imperial gallon)To convert c MPG to d km/L, perform:
0.4251437 * c mpg (US liquid gallon) = d km/L, or 0.354006 * c mpg (Imperial gallon) = d km/LYou may also like this online converter:
