Liters per 100 kilometers

Liters per 100 kilometers measures how many liters of fuel a vehicle uses to travel 100 kilometers.

L/100 km became common in many metric countries because it directly expresses fuel consumption over a standard distance.

L/100 km is used in vehicle ratings, fuel-consumption labels, trip estimates, fleet reporting, and emissions comparisons.

Miles per gallon (US) measures how many miles a vehicle travels on one US gallon of fuel.

US mpg became the standard consumer fuel-economy unit in the United States.

mpg (US) is used in US vehicle ratings, fuel-economy comparisons, trip planning, fleet reporting, and driver-facing mileage discussions.

Mathematically, miles per gallon (us) (mpg (US)) = liters per 100 kilometers (L/100 km) converted with the formula below.

1 L/100 km = 235.214583 mpg (US)

1 mpg (US) = 235.214583 L/100 km

Formula: 100 / value (via km/L)

Example: 15 L/100 km = 15.680972 mpg (US)

Start with the fuel consumption value in L/100 km.
Use the reciprocal relationship between consumption and distance-per-fuel economy.
Divide 235.2145833 by the L/100 km value.
Report the result in miles per gallon (US).

Precision note: Use mpg (US) = 235.2145833 / L/100 km. The reciprocal relationship means lower L/100 km and higher mpg both indicate better economy.

1 L/100 km = 235.214583 mpg (US)

1 mpg (US) = 235.214583 L/100 km

Divide 235.2145833 by the L/100 km value.

5 L/100 km is about 47.0429167 mpg (US).

Yes. US mpg measures distance per gallon, so a higher value means better fuel economy.
