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

What is Miles per US Gallon (mpg)

Miles per US gallon (mpg) is a unit used to measure fuel efficiency in the United States. It indicates how many miles a vehicle can travel using one gallon of fuel. A higher mpg value means better fuel efficiency, which translates to lower fuel consumption for a given distance.

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

Kilometers per gallon (UK) (km/gal(UK)) is a measure of fuel efficiency used primarily in the United Kingdom. This unit tells you how many kilometers a vehicle can travel using one UK gallon of fuel. Just like mpg, a higher value signifies better fuel efficiency.

Conversion Formulas

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

• To convert from mpg to km/gal(UK):

  km/gal(UK)=mpg×1.932742

• To convert from km/gal(UK) to mpg:

  mpg=km/gal(UK)×0.5173995

Examples

Let’s consider some examples for better understanding:

1. Converting 8 mpg to km/gal(UK):

   km/gal(UK)=8×1.932742=15.46194

2. Converting 9 mpg to km/gal(UK):

   km/gal(UK)=9×1.932742=17.39468

3. Converting 5 mpg to km/gal(UK):

   km/gal(UK)=5×1.932742=9.663712

4. Converting 8 km/gal(UK) to mpg:

   mpg=8×0.5173995=4.139196

5. Converting 9 km/gal(UK) to mpg:

   mpg=9×0.5173995=4.656596

6. Converting 5 km/gal(UK) to mpg:

   mpg=5×0.5173995=2.586998

By using these simple formulas, you can easily convert between miles per US gallon and kilometers per gallon (UK), enabling efficient comparisons and calculations related to fuel consumption.
