About Fuel Economy Conversion

Fuel economy measures the distance a vehicle can travel on a specific amount of fuel. Different countries and regions use different units to express fuel efficiency, making conversions necessary when comparing vehicles across borders.

Common Fuel Economy Conversions

• 1 mile per gallon (US) = 0.425 kilometers per liter (km/L)
• 1 mile per gallon (UK) = 0.354 kilometers per liter (km/L)
• 1 kilometer per liter (km/L) = 2.352 miles per gallon (US)
• 10 liters per 100 kilometers (L/100km) = 23.52 miles per gallon (US)
• 1 mile per liter (mi/L) = 4.25 miles per gallon (US)

Fuel Economy Conversion Applications

Fuel economy unit conversions are useful in many areas:

• Comparing vehicles from different countries
• Travel planning and fuel cost estimation
• Vehicle importing and regulatory compliance
• Environmental impact assessment
• Fleet management and efficiency monitoring

Our fuel economy converter provides accurate conversions between all these units, making it easy to translate between different fuel efficiency measurements used around the world.

Understanding Liters per 100km

It's important to note that liters per 100km (L/100km) is an inverse measure of fuel economy—the lower the number, the more efficient the vehicle. This makes it mathematically different from the other fuel economy units, which directly express efficiency as distance per volume.
