Fuel Efficiency Conversion Calculators
Convert MPG to Liters, Km/L, and more with in-depth explanations
MPG (US) to Liters per 100 Kilometers (L/100km)
Convert Miles Per Gallon (MPG) to Liters per 100 kilometers (L/100km). This conversion is commonly used to measure fuel efficiency in many countries, particularly in Europe and Canada.
Understanding the Conversion
Fuel efficiency is often measured in Miles Per Gallon (MPG) in the United States, indicating how many miles a vehicle can travel on one gallon of fuel. However, many countries prefer the Liters per 100 kilometers (L/100km) metric, which shows the amount of fuel consumed for every 100 kilometers traveled. This conversion is crucial for understanding and comparing vehicle efficiency across different regions.
The formula to convert MPG to L/100km is:
L/100km = 235.214583 / MPG
This equation reflects the inverse relationship between fuel efficiency and fuel consumption: as MPG increases, indicating better fuel efficiency, the L/100km value decreases, meaning less fuel is used per 100 kilometers.
MPG (UK) to Liters per 100 Kilometers (L/100km)
Convert Miles Per Gallon (UK) to Liters per 100 kilometers (L/100km). This conversion accounts for the difference in gallon sizes between the UK and the US.
Understanding the Conversion
The UK gallon is larger than the US gallon, which affects the MPG value when converting to L/100km. Therefore, it's essential to use the correct formula when performing these conversions.
The formula to convert MPG (UK) to L/100km is:
L/100km = 282.4809363 / MPG (UK)
This equation adjusts for the difference in gallon sizes, ensuring accurate conversion for UK measurements.
MPG to Kilometers per Liter (Km/L)
Convert Miles Per Gallon (MPG) to Kilometers per Liter (Km/L), a common metric used in many countries to measure fuel efficiency.
Understanding the Conversion
Kilometers per Liter (Km/L) is a metric used in many countries, especially in Asia and Latin America. It indicates how many kilometers a vehicle can travel on one liter of fuel. The conversion from MPG to Km/L helps in understanding and comparing vehicle efficiency across different regions and standards.
The formula to convert MPG to Km/L is:
Km/L = MPG × 0.425144
This formula accounts for the conversion from miles to kilometers and from gallons to liters, providing an accurate Km/L value.
