Fuel Consumption Converter

A good fuel economy is a relative term and can depend on several factors, such as the type of vehicle, the driving conditions, and the fuel type. Here is a table showing the fuel economy ratings for cars based on EPA ratings in the United States:

Note that these ratings are based on standardized tests and may not accurately reflect real-world driving conditions or individual driving habits. Additionally, fuel economy can vary based on the type of vehicle and the fuel type used. Therefore, it's important to consider other factors, such as the cost of fuel and the environmental impact, when evaluating the fuel economy of a vehicle.

To convert fuel consumption, you need to know the value in the original unit of measurement and the conversion factor for the unit you want to convert to. Here are the formulas for converting fuel consumption between miles per gallon (MPG) and liters per 100 kilometers (L/100km):

• To convert MPG to L/100km:

1. Multiply the MPG value by 235.214.
2. Divide the result by 100.

Formula: L/100km = 235.214 / MPG

• To convert L/100km to MPG:

1. Divide the value in L/100km by 235.214.
2. Divide the result into 1.

Formula: MPG = 1 / (L/100km / 235.214)

• Here's an example conversion from MPG to L/100km:

Convert 30 MPG to L/100km

L/100km = 235.214 / 30 L/100km = 7.84

Therefore, 30 MPG is equivalent to 7.84 L/100km.

• Here's an example conversion from L/100km to MPG:

Convert 8 L/100km to MPG

MPG = 1 / (8 / 235.214) MPG = 29.4

Therefore, 8 L/100km is equivalent to 29.4 MPG.

To convert liters per 100 kilometers (L/100km) to kilometers per liter (km/L or kmpl), you can use the following formula:

km/L = 100 / L/100km / 100

Here's an example conversion:

Convert 10 L/100km to kmpl:

km/L = 100 / 10 / 100 km/L = 0.1 kmpl

Therefore, 10 L/100km is equivalent to 0.1 kmpl. Note that this conversion factor is the reciprocal of the one used to convert kmpl to L/100km, which is:

L/100km = 100 / km/L / 100

Using this formula, you can convert km/L to L/100km by dividing 100 by the value in km/L and then multiplying by 100.
