Calculate your annual fuel cost from MPG and compare 2 cars side by side. It is handy if you are buying a newer car and want to see how the annual fuel costs compare.
We don’t take into account the price of inflation on the fuel price so we recommend that you add a bit to the fuel cost so it averages out. For example if the fuel cost is 140pence putting 146 pence should cover you for the hikes during the rest of the year.
The basic reason for forced induction (turbo or supercharger) is not to increase compression or the maximum pressure in an engine cylinder, it is to increase volumetric efficiency (the efficiency of the engine at drawing in air) although forced induction is the most effective method of upping compression.
