Usage Instructions:

Objective: Convert fuel efficiency from MPG (Miles Per Gallon) to KM/L (Kilometers Per Liter).

Steps:

  1. Enter MPG: Input the fuel efficiency in miles per gallon.
  2. Click "Convert to KM/L": Press the button to convert the value to kilometers per liter.
  3. View the Result: The converted value in KM/L will be displayed below.

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

  1. Identify the Value in mpg: For example, 25 mpg.
  2. 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.
