    What do you mean by words "guarantee"?

        Being IT literate I used google
        (550/55) miles per liter to mpg

        Which gave me the answer of
        (550 / 55) * (miles per litre) = 37.8541178 miles per gallon

            That'll be a US gallon.
            Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

                  What was that about you being IT literate?

                  so 550 miles for 55 litres not so bad?

                      No matter what the price of oil is, or how much tax is levied, or how much profit the oil companies make, travelling by car will always be cheaper than public transport.
