What Is This Tool?
This converter transforms fuel consumption measurements from mile/gallon (UK), which indicates miles traveled per imperial gallon, into hectometer/liter (hm/L), a metric unit showing distance traveled in hectometers per liter of fuel.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Input the fuel consumption value in mile/gallon (UK).
-
Select mile/gallon (UK) as the input unit and hectometer/liter [hm/L] as the output unit.
-
Click convert to see the equivalent fuel economy expressed in hectometer/liter.
-
Review the result to understand fuel consumption in metric per-liter terms.
Key Features

Converts mile/gallon (UK) fuel economy values to hectometer/liter (hm/L)
-
Provides quick calculations based on exact conversion rate
-
Supports comparisons between imperial and metric fuel consumption units
-
Easy-to-use browser-based interface
-
Suitable for automotive, engineering, and consumer applications
Examples
-
10 mile/gallon (UK) equals approximately 35.400619 hectometer/liter.
-
5 mile/gallon (UK) converts to about 17.7003095 hectometer/liter.
Common Use Cases
-
Assessing vehicle fuel-efficiency in the UK and Commonwealth countries.
-
Planning travel by comparing range per fuel tank between different vehicles.
-
Converting fuel consumption data for regulatory reporting and emissions analysis.
-
Reporting fuel economy for scooters or small vehicles in 100-meter increments.
-
Conducting localized short-range fuel-consumption studies using metric units.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Enter accurate mile/gallon (UK) values to ensure reliable conversions.
-
Use hectometer/liter units when you require more granular distance measures per liter.
-
Confirm the measurement context aligns with metric or imperial systems.
-
Compare converted results with metrics like km/L or L/100km for comprehensive understanding.
-
Keep in mind regional preferences in fuel consumption units when sharing data.
Limitations
-
Conversion depends strictly on the exact imperial gallon volume (4.54609 liters).
-
Does not adjust for variations in fuel types, driving conditions, or measurement methods.
-
Hectometer/liter may be unfamiliar or less intuitive for users used to miles per gallon or kilometers per liter.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does mile/gallon (UK) measure?
-
Mile/gallon (UK) measures how many statute miles a vehicle travels per one imperial gallon of fuel, commonly used in the UK and some Commonwealth countries.
-
Why convert from mile/gallon (UK) to hectometer/liter?
-
Converting to hectometer/liter allows expressing fuel economy in metric terms with finer distance increments, useful for short-range tests and small vehicles.
-
What is the exact conversion rate between these units?
-
One mile/gallon (UK) equals 3.5400619 hectometers per liter.
Key Terminology
-
mile/gallon (UK)
-
A unit measuring how many statute miles are traveled per imperial gallon (4.54609 liters) of fuel.
-
hectometer/liter (hm/L)
-
A metric fuel consumption unit indicating how many hectometers (100 meters) a vehicle travels per liter of fuel.
-
imperial gallon
-
A volume measure used in the UK equal to 4.54609 liters, distinct from the US gallon.
