What Is This Tool?
This converter allows you to change fuel consumption values from the metric unit Liter/100 km to the imperial measure Mile per Gallon (UK). It helps compare vehicle fuel efficiency across different measurement systems used worldwide.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the fuel consumption value in Liters per 100 kilometers.
-
Select Liter/100 km as the input unit and Mile/gallon (UK) as the output unit.
-
Click convert to view the corresponding Mile per Imperial Gallon value.
-
Use the result for vehicle efficiency comparison, travel planning, or reporting.
Key Features
-
Converts fuel consumption from Liter/100 km to Mile/gallon (UK) accurately.
-
Supports vehicle fuel-efficiency label interpretation for multiple regions.
-
Browser-based tool requiring no installation for easy access.
-
Uses standardized conversion factors relevant to UK imperial gallons.
-
Helps with regulatory, engineering, and consumer fuel economy comparisons.
Examples
-
A fuel consumption of 5 L/100 km converts to about 56.50 mile/gallon (UK).
-
If a vehicle uses 10 L/100 km, it equals roughly 28.25 mile/gallon (UK).
Common Use Cases
-
Interpreting passenger vehicle fuel economy labels in different countries.
-
Conducting emissions and fuel-efficiency regulatory testing.
-
Estimating fleet fuel budgeting and planning routes effectively.
-
Comparing imperial and metric fuel consumption metrics for engineering.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Always specify the unit system clearly to avoid confusion with US gallons.
-
Use this conversion for general comparison purposes, considering driving variations.
-
Confirm fuel type separately since this converter focuses on volume and distance only.
-
Use standardized values to support regulatory and technical compliance.
Limitations
-
Assumes standard test conditions; real-world fuel use can differ with driving habits.
-
Conversion applies only to imperial gallons, not US gallons.
-
Does not differentiate fuel types like gasoline or diesel in volume-distance ratio.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does Liter/100 km measure?
-
It's a metric unit reflecting the liters of fuel needed to travel 100 kilometers, with lower values indicating better fuel efficiency.
-
How is Mile/gallon (UK) defined?
-
It measures the number of miles a vehicle travels per one imperial gallon (about 4.546 liters) of fuel, commonly used in the UK and Commonwealth countries.
-
Can I use US gallons instead of UK gallons in this conversion?
-
No, this tool specifically uses the UK imperial gallon, which differs in volume from the US gallon.
Key Terminology
-
Liter/100 km [L/100 km]
-
A metric measurement of fuel consumption noting liters of fuel used to travel 100 kilometers.
-
Mile/gallon (UK)
-
A fuel economy unit indicating the distance in miles traveled per one imperial (UK) gallon of fuel.
-
Imperial gallon
-
A UK standard volume measurement for fuel equal to approximately 4.54609 liters.
