Converting from Liters per 100 Kilometers (L/100km) to Kilometers per Gallon (UK) (km/gal(UK))

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

Liters per 100 kilometers (L/100km) is a common unit of measurement for fuel consumption, particularly used in Europe and other regions. It indicates how many liters of fuel a vehicle consumes to travel 100 kilometers. For instance, a vehicle that has a fuel consumption of 5 L/100km uses 5 liters of fuel for every 100 kilometers driven.

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

Kilometers per gallon (UK) (km/gal(UK)) is another unit of fuel consumption, primarily used in the United Kingdom. It shows how many kilometers a vehicle can travel on one gallon of fuel. The higher the number, the more efficient the vehicle is in terms of fuel use. For example, if a car achieves a rating of 50 km/gal(UK), it can travel 50 kilometers on just one UK gallon of fuel.

Conversion Formulas

To convert from L/100km to km/gal(UK), we apply the following formula:

Conversely, to convert from km/gal(UK) to L/100km:

These formulas allow you to easily switch between the two units of measurement.

Examples

1. Example 1: If a vehicle consumes 10 L/100km, the calculation for km/gal(UK) will be:

   km/gal(UK)=10454.6092​=45.46092

   Thus, 10 L/100km is approximately 45.46 km/gal(UK).

2. Example 2: For a car rated at 50 km/gal(UK), the conversion back to L/100km will be:

   L/100km=50454.6092​=9.092184

   Therefore, 50 km/gal(UK) equates to about 9.09 L/100km.

3. Example 3: When a vehicle has a fuel consumption of 11 L/100km, you can find its km/gal(UK) equivalent:

   km/gal(UK)=11454.6092​≈41.32811

4. Example 4: If the fuel efficiency is 8 km/gal(UK), you can calculate:

   L/100km=8454.6092​≈56.82615

With just these basic formulas and examples, you can easily convert between these two important metrics of fuel consumption.
