Converting from Kilometers per Liter (km/L) to Kilometers per Gallon (UK) (km/gal(UK))

What is Kilometers per Liter (km/L)

Kilometers per liter (km/L) is a unit of measurement used to express fuel efficiency. It indicates how many kilometers a vehicle can travel using one liter of fuel. This metric is commonly used in countries that utilize the metric system and helps consumers understand how fuel-efficient a vehicle is.

What is Kilometers per Gallon (UK) (km/gal(UK))

Kilometers per gallon (UK) (km/gal(UK)) is another unit of measurement for fuel consumption, specifically used in the UK and some other countries. It shows how many kilometers a vehicle can travel on one gallon of fuel. The UK gallon is different from the US gallon, with one UK gallon equivalent to about 4.546 liters.

Conversion Formulas

To convert between kilometers per liter and kilometers per gallon (UK), you can use the following formulas:

1. From km/L to km/gal(UK):

   km/gal(UK)=km/L×4.546092

2. From km/gal(UK) to km/L:

   km/L=km/gal(UK)×0.2199692

Examples

• Example 1: If a vehicle's fuel consumption is 1 km/L, it can be converted to kilometers per gallon (UK) as follows:

  1km/L→km/gal(UK)=1×4.546092=4.546092km/gal(UK)

• Example 2: For a car that travels 6 km/L, the conversion would be:

  6km/L→km/gal(UK)=6×4.546092=27.27655km/gal(UK)

• Example 3: To convert 2 km/gal(UK) back to km/L:

  2km/gal(UK)→km/L=2×0.2199692=0.4399383km/L

• Example 4: If a vehicle achieves 4 km/gal(UK):

  4km/gal(UK)→km/L=4×0.2199692=0.8798766km/L

Use these conversions and formulas to easily move between kilometers per liter and kilometers per gallon (UK), enhancing your understanding of fuel consumption metrics.
