What Is This Tool?
This unit converter transforms fuel consumption values measured in meters per Imperial (UK) gallon into liters per 100 kilometers, enabling users to work between a distance per volume metric and the commonly used volume per distance metric.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the fuel consumption value in meter per gallon (UK).
-
Select the desired output unit as liter per 100 kilometers [L/100 km].
-
Click convert to see the equivalent fuel consumption in L/100 km.
-
Use the converted result for vehicle evaluations or regulatory compliance.

Examples
-
2 meter/gallon (UK) converts to approximately 909219.86 liter/100 km [L/100 km].
-
0.5 meter/gallon (UK) converts to approximately 227304.96 liter/100 km [L/100 km].
Common Use Cases
-
Comparing fuel economy metrics across systems using Imperial gallons and metric distances.
-
Engineering calculations involving distance in meters and Imperial gallon fuel volumes.
-
Analyzing mixed-unit historical fleet data for performance assessment.
-
Labeling vehicle fuel efficiency for consumer information and regulations.
-
Conducting laboratory testing for emissions and fuel-efficiency compliance.

Planning fleet fuel budgets and estimating route fuel costs.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Always confirm the units of the input fuel consumption value before converting.
-
Use this converter to bridge legacy Imperial gallon data and modern metric formats.
-
Interpret converted values carefully due to the large conversion factor involved.
-
Cross-check results when using data for regulatory or technical reporting purposes.
-
Be aware that meter/gallon (UK) is an uncommon unit requiring context for practical use.
Limitations
-
The conversion factor is very large because of fundamentally different unit types, leading to non-intuitive results.
-
Meter/gallon (UK) is a rare unit and may produce impractically large values when converted.
-
Direct interpretation of converted values requires attention to unit context and purpose.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does meter/gallon (UK) measure?
-
Meter/gallon (UK) is a fuel economy unit that measures how many meters a vehicle travels per one Imperial (UK) gallon of fuel consumed.
-
Why convert meter/gallon (UK) to liter/100 km?
-
Converting to liter/100 km allows fuel consumption data to be expressed in a common metric volume per distance format, useful for comparison, regulation, and technical reports.
-
Is liter/100 km a more common fuel consumption unit?
-
Yes, liter/100 km is the standard metric unit for vehicle fuel consumption, indicating liters of fuel needed to travel 100 kilometers.
-
Are there limitations when converting these units?
-
Yes, because meter/gallon (UK) is uncommon and the conversion involves very large numbers, the results can be non-intuitive and should be interpreted carefully.
Key Terminology
-
Meter/gallon (UK)
-
A unit measuring the distance in meters traveled per one Imperial (UK) gallon of fuel.
-
Liter/100 km [L/100 km]
-
A metric fuel consumption unit indicating liters of fuel needed to travel 100 kilometers; lower values show better efficiency.
-
Imperial (UK) gallon
-
A unit of volume used in the UK, representing the amount of fuel consumed for distance traveled in this context.
