Converting from Miles per US Gallon (mpg) to UK Gallons per 100 Kilometers (gal(UK)/100km)

What is Miles per US Gallon (mpg)

Miles per US Gallon (mpg) is a unit of fuel efficiency commonly used in the United States. It measures the distance a vehicle can travel on one gallon of gasoline. Higher mpg values indicate better fuel efficiency, as the vehicle can cover more miles per gallon.

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

UK Gallons per 100 Kilometers (gal(UK)/100km) is a unit of fuel consumption used primarily in the United Kingdom. This measure indicates the number of UK gallons of fuel consumed to travel 100 kilometers. A lower value in this unit signifies greater fuel efficiency, as it reflects less fuel used over a specific distance.

Conversion Formulas

To convert between these two units, you can use the following formulas:

1. From Miles per US Gallon to UK Gallons per 100 Kilometers:

   gal(UK)/100km=mpg100​×0.219969(for a more precise conversion)

2. From UK Gallons per 100 Kilometers to Miles per US Gallon:

   mpg=gal(UK)/100km100​×4.54609(to convert UK gallons to US gallons)

Using the default conversions, the relationship is as follows:

• 1 (mpg) = 51.73998 (gal(UK)/100km)
• 1 (gal(UK)/100km) = 51.73998 (mpg)

Examples

Let’s look at a few examples to better understand how to convert between mpg and gal(UK)/100km.

1. Example 1: Converting 4 mpg Using the conversion factor:

   4 mpg=4×51.73998 gal(UK)/100km=12.93499 gal(UK)/100km

2. Example 2: Converting 3 mpg Again using the conversion:

   3 mpg=3×51.73998 gal(UK)/100km=17.24666 gal(UK)/100km

3. Example 3: Converting 5 mpg Lastly, for 5 mpg:

   5 mpg=5×51.73998 gal(UK)/100km=10.348 gal(UK)/100km

These examples show how to perform simple conversions and can help in understanding fuel consumption in different units. Use these calculations for a clear understanding and accurate conversions between the two measurement systems.
