How it works
Enter a value, select Miles per US gallon and Litres per 100 kilometres, then MimiFile calculates the result instantly using the conversion model for this category.
Convert US miles per gallon (MPG) to litres per 100 kilometres (L/100 km) for North American vehicle economy figures and metric fuel-consumption comparisons.
Enter a value, select Miles per US gallon and Litres per 100 kilometres, then MimiFile calculates the result instantly using the conversion model for this category.
For a positive nonzero value, L/100 km = 235.2145833 ÷ US MPG. Higher MPG means lower L/100 km because the two measures are reciprocal.
Fuel economy uses a base-unit scale model.
L/100 km = 235.2145833 ÷ US MPG. For example, 30 US MPG is about 7.840 L/100 km and 40 US MPG is about 5.880 L/100 km.
US MPG uses the US liquid gallon of 3.785411784 litres. UK MPG uses the larger imperial gallon, so the conversion constant is different.
MPG reports distance per gallon, while L/100 km reports fuel used per distance. A more efficient vehicle has a higher MPG number but a lower L/100 km number.
Useful when a specification, map, recipe, technical document or device uses Litres per 100 kilometres while your source value is in Miles per US gallon.
