Fuel Consumption Conversion - Convert MPG, L/100km, and More
Understanding Fuel Consumption Measurements
Fuel consumption conversions are essential for comparing vehicle efficiency, planning trips, and understanding international fuel economy standards. Different regions use various units (L/100km, MPG, km/L), and understanding these conversions is crucial for drivers, fleet managers, and car buyers.
Common Fuel Consumption Units
Metric Units
- Liters per 100 kilometers (L/100km) - Standard in Europe
- Kilometers per liter (km/L) - Used in Asia, some countries
Imperial & US Units
- Miles per gallon (MPG, US/UK) - US and UK standard
- Gallons per 100 miles (gal/100mi) - Alternative US unit
Common Applications
| Field | Common Units | Typical Uses |
|---|---|---|
| Personal Vehicles | L/100km, MPG | Fuel economy, trip planning |
| Fleet Management | L/100km, gal/100mi | Cost control, efficiency tracking |
| Automotive Sales | L/100km, MPG, km/L | Comparing vehicle efficiency |
| Environmental Analysis | L/100km, MPG | CO₂ emissions, energy use |
Conversion Tips
- 1 US MPG = 235.215 / MPG (L/100km)
- 1 UK MPG = 282.481 / MPG (L/100km)
- 1 L/100km = 100 / (km/L)
- Lower L/100km or higher MPG means better fuel efficiency
Fuel Consumption Conversions
| Conversion | Formula | Quick Answer |
|---|---|---|
| L/100km to US MPG | 235.215 / L/100km | Divide 235.215 by L/100km |
| US MPG to L/100km | 235.215 / US MPG | Divide 235.215 by US MPG |
| L/100km to UK MPG | 282.481 / L/100km | Divide 282.481 by L/100km |
| UK MPG to L/100km | 282.481 / UK MPG | Divide 282.481 by UK MPG |
| km/L to L/100km | 100 / km/L | Divide 100 by km/L |
| L/100km to km/L | 100 / L/100km | Divide 100 by L/100km |
| US MPG to UK MPG | US MPG × 1.20095 | Multiply US MPG by 1.20095 |
| UK MPG to US MPG | UK MPG × 0.832674 | Multiply UK MPG by 0.832674 |
