How it works
Enter a value, select Litres per 100 kilometres and Miles per imperial gallon, then MimiFile calculates the result instantly using the conversion model for this category.
Convert litres per 100 kilometres (L/100 km) to miles per imperial gallon (UK MPG) for comparing European consumption figures with British fuel-economy values.
Enter a value, select Litres per 100 kilometres and Miles per imperial gallon, then MimiFile calculates the result instantly using the conversion model for this category.
For a positive nonzero value, UK MPG = 282.4809363 ÷ (L/100 km). This uses the imperial gallon, not the smaller US liquid gallon.
Fuel economy uses a base-unit scale model.
UK MPG = 282.4809363 ÷ (L/100 km). For example, 5 L/100 km is about 56.4962 UK MPG and 8 L/100 km is about 35.3101 UK MPG.
UK MPG uses the imperial gallon of 4.54609 L, while US MPG uses the smaller US liquid gallon of 3.785411784 L. The same vehicle therefore has a higher UK MPG number than US MPG.
Lower L/100 km is better, while higher MPG is better. That inverse relationship is why this conversion uses division rather than one fixed multiplication factor.
Useful when a specification, map, recipe, technical document or device uses Miles per imperial gallon while your source value is in Litres per 100 kilometres.
