Understanding Miles per Gallon (MPG) and Litres per 100km (L/100km)

Fuel efficiency is commonly measured in Miles per Gallon (MPG) in the US and Litres per 100 Kilometers (L/100km) in most other countries. These units express how efficiently a vehicle uses fuel to travel a specific distance.

How Are MPG and L/100km Related?

MPG and L/100km are two different units that measure fuel efficiency:

  1. MPG: Measures the number of miles a vehicle can travel per gallon of fuel.
  2. L/100km: Measures the number of liters of fuel required to travel 100 kilometers.

How to Convert MPG to L/100km

To convert from MPG to L/100km, we use the following formula:

  • L/100km = (100 / MPG) × 3.78541

Where 3.78541 is the number of liters in a gallon. This formula provides the fuel consumption in liters per 100 kilometers based on the miles per gallon value you input.

Why Convert MPG to L/100km?

In many countries, particularly in Europe, fuel efficiency is measured in liters per 100 kilometers rather than miles per gallon. Converting MPG to L/100km allows drivers to better understand fuel economy according to local standards.

Average Fuel Efficiency

Vehicle Type MPG L/100km
Compact Car 30-40 7.8-5.9
Sedan 25-35 9.4-6.7
SUV 20-30 11.8-7.8
Truck 15-25 15.7-11.8
Hybrid 40-50+ 5.9-4.7+
