What does mile/gallon (UK) measure?

It measures how many statute miles a vehicle travels per one imperial gallon of fuel, typically used in the UK and some Commonwealth countries.

Why convert mile/gallon (UK) to liter/100 km?

Conversion enables comparison and compliance with metric fuel consumption standards common in many countries and regulatory contexts.

How is liter/100 km related to mpg (imp)?

Liter/100 km measures fuel volume needed to travel 100 kilometers. It is inversely related to miles per gallon, so a higher mpg (imp) means a lower L/100 km value.

What Is This Tool?

This converter transforms fuel consumption measurements from mile per imperial gallon (UK) to liters per 100 kilometers (L/100 km), assisting in comparing vehicle fuel efficiency across different unit systems.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the fuel consumption value in mile/gallon (UK).
Select mile/gallon (UK) as the input unit and liter/100 km as the output unit.
Click convert to see the equivalent fuel consumption in liters per 100 kilometers.

Key Features

Converts mile/gallon (UK), a fuel economy measure using statute miles and imperial gallons.
Outputs results in liter/100 km, the commonly used metric fuel consumption unit.
Includes built-in calculation with a fixed conversion formula.
Supports applications in automotive, regulatory, and consumer vehicle contexts.

Examples

30 mile/gallon (UK) converts to approximately 9.42 L/100 km.
50 mile/gallon (UK) converts to approximately 5.65 L/100 km.

Common Use Cases

Checking UK and Commonwealth vehicle fuel-efficiency ratings labeled in mpg (imp).
Planning travel by comparing range per tank for cars and motorcycles in different units.
Performing engineering calculations and regulatory reporting involving vehicle emissions.
Comparing fuel consumption data for consumer information in metric-based regions.

Tips & Best Practices

Always ensure input values use the mile/gallon (UK) unit to avoid incorrect results.
Use this conversion for regulatory or engineering calculations to maintain consistency.
Interpret results carefully since higher mpg (imp) indicates better fuel efficiency but corresponds to lower L/100 km.

Limitations

Conversion assumes standard imperial gallon and mile definitions, which may vary in practice.
Real-world fuel consumption can differ due to fuel quality, driving conditions, and measurement differences.
Since the units are inversely related, understanding the directional meaning of values requires attention.
