Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert mpg to L/100km?
Divide 235.2 by the US miles per gallon figure. For example, 30 US mpg is about 7.84 liters per 100 km. The relationship is inverse, so a higher mpg means a lower L/100km.
Why are US and UK mpg different?
A US gallon is about 3.785 liters while a UK imperial gallon is about 4.546 liters. Because the UK gallon is larger, the same car shows a higher mpg figure in UK units than in US units.
Is a higher or lower number better?
For miles per gallon and kilometers per liter, higher is more efficient. For liters per 100 km, lower is more efficient, since it uses less fuel for the same distance.
How do I convert L/100km to km per liter?
Divide 100 by the liters per 100 km figure. For example, 8 L/100km is 12.5 km per liter. They are inverse measures of the same thing.
