Is MPG in Imperial or US gallons?

How Do I Convert MPG to L/100km? Miles and gallons are imperial measurements that are used in the United States. You’re unlikely to see these measures in Europe or other parts of the world. Instead, European countries use liters per 100 kilometers, or l/100km, to measure fuel efficiency.

How do you calculate fuel consumption in metric?

Let’s say you travelled 540 kilometers using 49 liters of fuel. To calculate your average fuel economy, divide the number of liters (49) by the distance travelled (540) and then multiply by 100. That’s it! In this case, the result is 9.07 L/100 km.

How do you calculate fuel economy per litre?

The following formula is used to calculate fuel consumption in litres / 100kms, the most commonly used measure of fuel consumption. (Litres used X 100) ÷ km travelled = Litres per 100km.

How do I calculate litres per 100km?

Litres per 100km (l/100km) The calculation is: litres / distance * 100 = l/100km. For example: 57 litres / 635 km * 100 = 8.98l/100km.

How many liters per 100km is good?

In general, 5 to 8 litres per 100 km would be considered a good fuel efficiency, 8 to 12 litres per 100 km would be average, and more than 12 litres per 100 km would be considered a relatively low fuel efficiency. Your driving habits also impact how efficiently your vehicle will use its fuel.

Does the UK use imperial MPG?

This is going to come as a bit of as shock, so sit down…. In the UK, the gallons in MPG are imperial gallons. 4.55 litres etc. In the US, the gallons in MPG are US gallons, the small ones.

Is US mpg same as UK?

1 US MPG = 1.201 UK MPG while 1 UK MPG is 0.8327 US MPG. These are the basic equations of fuel economy conversion.

How do you calculate litres per kilometer?

Liters per 100 kilometers Or L/100km. To convert this to kilometers per liter, simply divide 100 by the number of liters next to the “L.” So, if the reading says 6L/100km, that’s 100 divided by 6, which equals 16.6 kilometers per liter (km/L).

How do you convert km L to km L?

·

  1. Divide the distance by the litres used to get the km/litre.
  2. Convert the km/litre to L/100 km i.e. divide 100 by km per litre.
  3. Convert km/litre to miles per gallon i.e. multiply km/litre by 2.825.

Is 7.6 litres per 100km good?

Anything that is listed as less than 6-litres/100km or more than 16.5km/1-litre is considered to be pretty good. The first (and most common) reference is litres per 100km (litres/100km).
