How to Convert Miles per Gallon (MPG) to Kilometers per Liter (KM/L)

To convert from miles per gallon (US) to kilometers per liter, you need to understand the relationship between these units of measurement:

Conversion Factors:

  • 1 mile = 1.609344 kilometers
  • 1 US gallon = 3.78541178 liters

Conversion Formula:

The formula to convert MPG to KM/L is:

KM/L = MPG × (1.609344 km / 3.78541178 L) = MPG × 0.425143707

Conversion Steps:

  1. Start with your MPG value
  2. Multiply by the conversion factor 0.425143707
  3. The result is your fuel efficiency in kilometers per liter (KM/L)

Example Calculation:

Let’s convert 35 MPG to KM/L:

KM/L = 35 MPG × 0.425143707

KM/L = 14.88 KM/L

Therefore, 35 MPG is equivalent to 14.88 kilometers per liter.

Understanding the Units:

MPG (Miles per Gallon): This is a measure of fuel efficiency commonly used in the United States. It indicates how many miles a vehicle can travel on one US gallon of fuel.

KM/L (Kilometers per Liter): This is a measure of fuel efficiency commonly used in many countries outside the US. It indicates how many kilometers a vehicle can travel on one liter of fuel.

Practical Application:

This conversion is particularly useful when:

  • Comparing fuel efficiency of vehicles between different countries
  • Traveling internationally and need to understand local fuel efficiency metrics
  • Converting specifications from US vehicles to metric system standards
