Fuel Efficiency Converter (km/l, l/100km, mpg)
About Fuel Efficiency Converter (km/l, l/100km, mpg)
The Fuel Efficiency Converter helps you convert between different fuel economy units such as kilometers per liter (km/l), liters per 100 kilometers (l/100 km), and miles per gallon (mpg). It’s perfect for comparing car mileage and fuel efficiency across different measurement systems.
Formula (Simple Explanation)›
mpg = 235.215 / (l/100 km) or l/100 km = 235.215 / mpg
Fuel efficiency shows how far a vehicle can travel using a specific amount of fuel. The conversion factor 235.215 is based on the relationship between miles, kilometers, and liters.
Example:
Input: Convert 15 km/l to mpg
Output: 15 km/l ≈ 35.3 mpg (U.S.)
Steps to Use:
- Select the fuel efficiency unit you want to convert from (km/l, l/100 km, or mpg).
- Enter the vehicle’s efficiency value.
- Choose the target unit you want to convert to.
- Click 'Convert' to see your result instantly.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does km/l mean?›
Km/l stands for kilometers per liter and shows how many kilometers a vehicle can travel using one liter of fuel. The higher the value, the better the fuel efficiency.
What is l/100 km?›
Liters per 100 kilometers (l/100 km) measures how many liters of fuel are consumed to travel 100 kilometers. A lower value means better fuel economy.
What is mpg and how is it used?›
Miles per gallon (mpg) measures how far a vehicle can travel using one gallon of fuel. It’s commonly used in the United States and the UK.
How do I convert between mpg and l/100 km?›
Use the formula mpg = 235.215 / (l/100 km). For example, a car using 8 l/100 km has about 29.4 mpg efficiency.
Which unit should I use to compare cars internationally?›
Use l/100 km for metric systems and mpg for imperial systems. Many global auto reviews now include both for easy comparison.
