Fuel Consumption Converter FAQ
What is a fuel consumption converter?
A fuel consumption converter converts fuel-economy units such as L/100 km, mpg, and km/L. It is useful when different cars, reviews, or countries show fuel economy in different unit systems.
How do I convert mpg to L/100 km or L/100 km to mpg?
Enter a value, choose the source unit, and then choose the target unit. This converter can quickly convert mpg to L/100 km, L/100 km to mpg, and km/L to and from both systems.
What is the difference between L/100 km, mpg, and km/L?L/100 km shows how much fuel a vehicle uses over distance, so lower is better. mpg and km/L show how far a vehicle travels on a fixed amount of fuel, so higher is better.
Does this converter support both US mpg and UK mpg?
Yes. It supports both US mpg and UK mpg. They are not the same because a US gallon and an imperial gallon are different sizes.
Why can the converted number look very different?
Fuel-economy units are directional. A low L/100 km value converts to a high mpg or km/L value. The vehicle is not changing, only the unit system is.
When should I use a fuel consumption converter instead of a fuel cost calculator?
Use a fuel consumption converter when you want to compare or translate fuel-economy units. Use a fuel cost calculator when you want to estimate trip cost from distance, fuel efficiency, and fuel price.
Can I use this to compare fuel economy between cars?
Yes. It is useful when one car is listed in L/100 km and another in mpg or km/L. Converting them to the same unit makes the comparison easier.
