To convert miles per gallon (mpg) to kilometers per liter (km/L), you can use the following conversion factors:
- 1 mile ≈ 1.60934 kilometers
- 1 gallon ≈ 3.78541 liters
Conversion Formula
km/L = mpg × 1.60934 ÷ 3.78541
Example Conversions
Here’s how you can convert mpg to km/L using some example values:
| Miles per Gallon (mpg) | Formula | Kilometers per Liter (km/L) |
|---|---|---|
| 10 mpg | 10 × 1.60934 ÷ 3.78541 | 4.25 km/L |
| 20 mpg | 20 × 1.60934 ÷ 3.78541 | 8.50 km/L |
| 30 mpg | 30 × 1.60934 ÷ 3.78541 | 12.75 km/L |
| 50 mpg | 50 × 1.60934 ÷ 3.78541 | 21.25 km/L |
| 100 mpg | 100 × 1.60934 ÷ 3.78541 | 42.51 km/L |
How to Convert mpg to km/L
- Identify the Value in mpg: For example, 25 mpg.
- Apply the Conversion Formula:
- Multiply the number of mpg by 1.60934 and divide by 3.78541.
- For 25 mpg:
- Calculation: 25×1.60934÷3.78541=10.63 km/L25 \times 1.60934 \div 3.78541 = 10.63 \, \text{km/L}.
Practical Uses
- Fuel Efficiency: Comparing fuel efficiency for vehicles across different measurement systems, such as the U.S. system (mpg) and the metric system (km/L).
- Car Performance: Evaluating car performance based on fuel consumption when driving in different countries.
Summary
To convert miles per gallon to kilometers per liter, multiply the value in mpg by 1.60934 and divide by 3.78541. For instance, 10 mpg equals 4.25 km/L, and 50 mpg equals 21.25 km/L. This conversion is commonly used for comparing fuel efficiency across different regions and units of measure.
