How to convert fuel economy

All 4 fuel economy units are converted through a single base unit, so any unit can be converted to any other. Enter a value, choose the units and press Convert, or open a conversion page for the exact factor and a reference table.

For example, 1 miles per gallon US (mpg (US)) = 235.215 liters per 100km (L/100km). Units measured "per" each other, such as litres per 100 km and kilometres per litre, are inverse quantities and are converted exactly rather than by a fixed multiplier.

Fuel Economy unit definitions

Liters per 100km (L/100km)
Liters per 100 kilometers is the fuel-consumption measure in Europe and Canada: lower is better. It is the inverse of distance-per-volume units such as mpg.
Kilometers per Liter (km/L)
Kilometers per liter expresses how far a vehicle travels on one liter of fuel; higher is better. It is used in Japan, India and parts of Latin America.
Miles per Gallon US (mpg (US))
Miles per US gallon is the fuel-economy figure on US window stickers. Because the US gallon is smaller, the same car scores about 20% lower in US mpg than in UK mpg.
Miles per Gallon UK (mpg (UK))
Miles per imperial gallon is used in the United Kingdom. The imperial gallon is 4.546 liters, so UK mpg figures are about 20% higher than US mpg for the same car.
