Converting from Kilometers per Liter (km/L) to US Gallons per 100 Kilometers (gal(US)/100km)

What is Kilometers per Liter (km/L)

Kilometers per Liter (km/L) is a unit of measure for fuel consumption in the metric system. It indicates the distance in kilometers that a vehicle can travel using one liter of fuel. A higher km/L value means better fuel efficiency, as the vehicle travels further on the same amount of fuel.

What is US Gallons per 100 Kilometers (gal(US)/100km)

US Gallons per 100 Kilometers (gal(US)/100km) is another measure of fuel consumption, primarily used in the United States. It specifies the number of US gallons consumed for every 100 kilometers traveled. A lower value represents better fuel efficiency, as it indicates less fuel is used to cover the distance.

Conversion Formulas

The conversion between these two units requires understanding the relationship between them. The default conversion facts are:

• 1 km/L=26.41721 gal(US)/100 km
• 1 gal(US)/100 km=0.037854 km/L

From this, you can derive the following formulas:

• To convert from km/L to gal(US)/100km:

  gal(US)/100 km=km/L×3.78541100​

• To convert from gal(US)/100km to km/L:

  km/L=gal(US)/100 km100×3.78541​

Examples

Here are some conversion examples to illustrate how to convert between these two units:

1. From km/L to gal(US)/100km:

   • For a vehicle with a fuel consumption of 16 km/L:
     gal(US)/100 km=16100​≈6.25 gal(US)/100 km
   • To use the default conversion:
     16 km/L×26.41721100 kmgal(US)​≈1.651075 gal(US)/100 km

2. From gal(US)/100km to km/L:

   • For a vehicle that consumes 2.935245 gal(US)/100km:
     km/L=2.935245100×3.78541​≈12.85 km/L
   • Alternatively, using default facts:
     2.935245 gal(US)/100 km×26.41721 km/L≈9 km/L

3. From km/L to gal(US)/100km:

   • If a car has a fuel consumption of 8 km/L:
     gal(US)/100 km=8100​≈12.5 gal(US)/100 km
   • Using default conversions:
     8 km/L×26.41721 gal(US)/100 km≈3.302151 gal(US)/100 km
