About this tool

L/100 km measures fuel consumed over a fixed distance, so lower numbers are better. MPG measures distance per unit of fuel, so higher numbers are better. US and Imperial gallons are different sizes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are US and Imperial MPG different?

An Imperial gallon is larger than a U.S. gallon, so the same vehicle has a higher numerical Imperial MPG.

Is lower L/100 km better?

Yes. It means the vehicle uses fewer litres to travel 100 kilometres.

Why is MPG conversion not a simple multiplier from L/100 km?

One measure is fuel-per-distance and the other is distance-per-fuel, so the relationship is reciprocal.

Does WispData store what I enter?
