Kilometers per liter states how far a vehicle travels per liter of fuel, commonly used in Asia and Latin America. US miles per gallon states how far a vehicle travels per US gallon of fuel, the standard fuel economy rating in the US. 1 km/L equals ≈2.35215 mpg, so converting between them is a matter of multiplying by that fixed factor — type any value into the converter below and both sides update instantly as you type.
Both units belong to fuel economy, measured here against fuel economy's base unit (L/100km) — every other fuel economy unit on this site converts through that same reference point, which is why the table below can also be read as a quick cross-check against nearby values.
Formula
mpg = km/L × ≈2.35215
km/L = mpg × ≈0.425144
Worked example: 5 km/L × ≈2.35215 = ≈11.7607 mpg.
