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

What is Liters per 100 Kilometers (L/100km)

Liters per 100 kilometers (L/100km) is a metric unit used to express fuel consumption. It indicates how many liters of fuel a vehicle consumes to travel 100 kilometers. This measure allows consumers to understand a vehicle's efficiency by providing a clear representation of how much fuel is needed over a fix distance. Lower figures in L/100km reflect better fuel efficiency.

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

US gallons per 100 kilometers (gal(US)/100km) is an alternative measurement of fuel consumption, primarily used in the United States. Similar to L/100km, this unit represents the number of US gallons required for a vehicle to travel 100 kilometers. Understanding this measure is crucial for car owners and drivers in the US, as it helps them assess vehicle fuel efficiency in their customary units.

Conversion Formulas

The conversion between L/100km and gal(US)/100km can be handled with the following formulas:

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

  gal(US)/100km=L/100km×0.2641721

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

  L/100km=gal(US)/100km×3.785412

Examples

1. Converting 12 L/100km to gal(US)/100km:

   Using the formula:

   gal(US)/100km=12×0.2641721=3.170065

   So, 12 L/100km is approximately 3.170065 gal(US)/100km.

2. Converting 9 gal(US)/100km to L/100km:

   Using the conversion formula:

   L/100km=9×3.785412=34.06871

   Thus, 9 gal(US)/100km equals approximately 34.06871 L/100km.

3. Converting 15 L/100km to gal(US)/100km:

   Using the formula:

   gal(US)/100km=15×0.2641721=3.962581

   Hence, 15 L/100km is roughly 3.962581 gal(US)/100km.

4. Converting 12 gal(US)/100km to L/100km:

   Using the conversion:

   L/100km=12×45.42494=45.42494

   Therefore, 12 gal(US)/100km equals about 45.42494 L/100km.
