Calculator guide
Fuel Economy Unit Converter helps you explore the stated conversion question. Start with the labelled inputs, then review the method, worked example and limitations before using a result.
Formula or method
Fuel consumption and economy are reciprocal: L/100 km = 235.214583 ÷ US MPG. Imperial MPG uses a different gallon.
How to use this calculator
- Enter fuel economy and choose both units, distinguishing US and Imperial gallons.
- Check the inverse relationship between liters per 100 km and miles per gallon.
Worked example
30 US MPG is about 7.84 L/100 km. It is not interchangeable with 30 Imperial MPG.
Understanding the result
Compare the output with the fuel economy unit converter worked example using exactly the same inputs. A different assumption or rounding convention can produce a different displayed result; the output does not establish personal or professional suitability.
Limitations and assumptions
- Zero fuel consumption cannot be reciprocated. Identify US or Imperial gallons before comparing vehicle ratings.
- The worked example demonstrates the stated assumptions, not a recommendation about your personal circumstances.
