How to Transform Miles per Gallon (MPG US) into Liters per 100 Kilometers L/100km

To convert miles per gallon (US) (mpg) into liters per 100 kilometers (L/100km), divide a specific conversion factor by the vehicle’s fuel efficiency value in mpg. This factor is exactly 235.2145. The conversion formula is represented as follows:

\text{Liters per 100 kilometers} = \frac{235.2145}{\text{Miles per gallon (US)}}

Thus, the fuel consumption in liters per 100 kilometers is determined by dividing 235.2145 by the mpg value.

Example Calculation:

For instance, consider a vehicle that achieves a fuel efficiency of 5 mpg (US). The corresponding consumption in liters per 100 kilometers is calculated as follows:

5 \ \text{mpg (US)} = \frac{235.2145}{5} = 47.0429 \ \text{L/100km}

This means a vehicle traveling 5 miles per gallon consumes approximately 47.0429 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers.

Units Overview

  • Miles per Gallon (US): Miles per gallon measures the distance a vehicle can travel on one gallon of fuel. A higher mpg value indicates greater fuel efficiency and lower fuel consumption. It is often abbreviated as mpg (US) or simply mpg. For example, 1 mile per gallon can be written as 1 mpg (US).
  • Liters per 100 Kilometers (L/100km): This unit reflects the amount of fuel consumed in liters to cover 100 kilometers. It is commonly abbreviated as L/100km. For instance, a fuel consumption of 1 liter per 100 kilometers is denoted as 1 L/100km. This metric is widely used in countries that employ the metric system to evaluate fuel efficiency.
