How it works
Enter a value, select Litres per 100 kilometres and Miles per US 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 US gallon (US MPG) when comparing metric fuel consumption with North American fuel-economy figures.
Enter a value, select Litres per 100 kilometres and Miles per US gallon, then MimiFile calculates the result instantly using the conversion model for this category.
For a positive nonzero value, US MPG = 235.214583333 ÷ (L/100 km). This route uses the US liquid gallon, not the larger imperial gallon used for UK MPG.
Fuel economy uses a base-unit scale model.
US MPG = 235.214583333 ÷ (L/100 km). For example, 5 L/100 km is about 47.043 US MPG, while 8 L/100 km is about 29.402 US MPG.
US MPG uses the US liquid gallon of 3.785411784 L. UK MPG uses the larger imperial gallon, so the same vehicle receives a different MPG number under the two systems.
Lower L/100 km means less fuel is used, while higher MPG means more distance is travelled per gallon. The conversion therefore uses division rather than one fixed multiplication factor.
Useful when a specification, map, recipe, technical document or device uses Miles per US gallon while your source value is in Litres per 100 kilometres.
