Us Mpg to Liters Per 100km
US miles per gallon states how far a vehicle travels per US gallon of fuel, the standard fuel economy rating in the US. Liters per 100 km states how much fuel a vehicle uses over a fixed distance, the standard fuel economy unit in Europe. 1 mpg equals ≈235.215 L/100km, 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
L/100km = mpg × ≈235.215
mpg = L/100km × ≈235.215
Worked example: 5 mpg × ≈235.215 = ≈47.0429 L/100km.
