-
Click 'Convert' to get the equivalent fuel consumption in kilometer/gallon (US)
-
Use results for vehicle efficiency assessment or reporting
Key Features
-
Converts fuel consumption from gallon (UK)/100 mi to kilometer/gallon (US)
-
Supports compatibility with both imperial and US customary fuel volume units
-
Based on established conversion rates between gallons and distance units
-
Useful for automotive industry and international fleet management
-
Browser-based tool requiring no installation
Examples
-
1 gallon (UK)/100 mi equals approximately 134.01 kilometer/gallon (US)
-
2 gallon (UK)/100 mi equals approximately 268.01 kilometer/gallon (US)
Common Use Cases
-
Comparing vehicle fuel consumption in regions that use imperial gallons or UK vehicle specifications
-
Estimating fuel and cost for 100-mile trips in fleet planning and logistics
-
Converting fuel economy figures between UK mpg and metric L/100 km for international reporting
-
Managing mixed-unit fleets with distances in kilometres and fuel in US gallons
-
Assessing vehicle efficiency across different measurement systems for regulatory compliance
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure correct units are selected before converting to avoid misinterpretations
-
Use the tool for quick and clear comparisons when working with both UK and US fuel consumption data
-
Apply conversion results to support fleet management or vehicle efficiency analyses
-
Account for rounding in final values when reporting to maintain clarity
-
Be aware of differences between UK and US gallons when using these units in documentation
Limitations
-
Differences in UK and US gallon definitions require careful conversion to prevent errors
-
Conversion assumes standard mile and gallon definitions without adjustments for temperature or fuel quality
-
Results may include fractional values that could require rounding for practical use
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does gallon (UK)/100 mi measure?
-
It measures the number of UK gallons of fuel consumed to travel 100 miles, representing fuel consumption based on the imperial gallon.
-
How is kilometer/gallon (US) defined?
-
It quantifies how far a vehicle can travel in kilometers on one US liquid gallon of fuel, indicating fuel economy as distance per volume.
-
Why convert between these units?
-
Conversion facilitates comparison and reporting when working with fuel consumption data from regions using different gallon definitions and distance units.
