What does gallon (US)/100 mi measure?

It measures the number of US gallons of fuel consumed for every 100 miles driven, reflecting fuel consumption on a fixed-distance basis.

Why convert gallon (US)/100 mi to liter/100 km?

Because they use different measurement systems, conversion helps compare fuel consumption accurately in automotive, regulatory, and fleet management contexts.

Does this converter work for miles per gallon (MPG)?

No, this conversion specifically handles fuel consumption per 100 miles to fuel consumption per 100 kilometers and does not convert MPG directly without reciprocal calculations.
