Convert miles per gallon to liters per 100 kilometers. Use this MPG to L/100km converter to compare US fuel economy ratings with international fuel consumption numbers and estimate fuel used for a trip.
MPG US to L/100km:
L/100km = 235.214583 ÷ MPG US
MPG UK to L/100km:
L/100km = 282.480936 ÷ MPG UK
MPG US to km/L:
km/L = MPG US × 0.425144
Fuel used:
liters = L/100km × kilometers ÷ 100
MPG to L/100km conversions are useful for comparing US vehicle ratings with international fuel consumption numbers, checking car specs, comparing used cars, planning road trips, estimating fuel used, and comparing vehicle efficiency.
Use this converter when a vehicle listing shows MPG but you need liters per 100 kilometers.
Your result shows the entered MPG converted to liters per 100 kilometers. The converter also displays km/L, estimated fuel used for a trip, and estimated fuel cost.
Real fuel economy can change because of traffic, speed, road grade, tire pressure, weather, vehicle load, towing, engine condition, fuel type, and driving habits.
Divide 235.214583 by the MPG US value. For example, 25 MPG US equals about 9.41 L/100km.
Divide 282.480936 by the MPG UK value. For example, 25 MPG UK equals about 11.30 L/100km.
Yes. Lower L/100km means the vehicle uses fewer liters of fuel to travel 100 kilometers.
Yes. Higher MPG means the vehicle travels farther on each gallon of fuel.
They use different gallon sizes. A UK imperial gallon is larger than a US gallon, so MPG UK values are usually higher for the same vehicle efficiency.
