Liters per 100 km to MPG Converter

Convert fuel consumption from liters per 100 kilometers to miles per gallon.

Enter the laboratory or real-world combined cycle figure for the trip.

Figures are based on the standard EPA constant and assume consistent driving conditions. Confirm against manufacturer documentation when auditing fuel reports.

Examples

  • 4.8 L/100 km on a highway commute ⇒ 49.00 mpg (US)
  • 7.2 L/100 km mixed driving ⇒ 32.64 mpg (US)
  • 10.5 L/100 km in city traffic ⇒ 22.40 mpg (US)

FAQ

Can I compare this with on-board computer readings?

Yes. Many dashboards report consumption in L/100 km; enter the same figure to see the equivalent miles per gallon for trip logs and fleet summaries.

Does the calculator handle decimal inputs?

Absolutely. Precision to one or two decimals reflects how manufacturers publish official fuel economy data.

What if my data is already in mpg?

Invert the result by dividing 235.214583 by your mpg value to recover liters per 100 km.

Does this cover hybrid or electric vehicles?

Use it for any drivetrain that reports fuel consumption in L/100 km. For EVs reporting kWh/100 km, convert kWh to equivalent fuel only if a comparison is needed.

Additional Information

  • Uses the EPA conversion factor of 235.214583 to translate liters per 100 km into US miles per gallon.
  • Lower L/100 km values indicate better efficiency; in mpg the relationship is inverted, so higher numbers are better.
  • For UK gallons multiply the result by 1.20095 after conversion to obtain mpg (Imperial).
