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

What is Miles per US Gallon (mpg)

Miles per US gallon (mpg) is a measurement used primarily in the United States to describe the fuel efficiency of a vehicle. It indicates how many miles a car can travel on one gallon of fuel. A higher mpg value means better fuel efficiency. For example, if a vehicle has an mpg of 25, it can travel 25 miles on just one gallon of fuel.

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

Kilometers per gallon (km/gal(US)) is a similar metric used to express fuel efficiency, but it is often used in countries that employ the metric system. This unit indicates how many kilometers a vehicle can cover using one US gallon of fuel. Like mpg, a higher km/gal value indicates that the vehicle is more fuel-efficient. For example, a fuel efficiency rating of 30 km/gal(US) means the car can travel 30 kilometers on one US gallon of fuel.

Conversion Formulas

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

• From mpg to km/gal(US):

  km/gal(US)=mpg×1.609344

• From km/gal(US) to mpg:

  mpg=km/gal(US)×0.6213712

Examples

Let's see some examples to illustrate how to convert between these two units:

1. Convert 3 mpg to km/gal(US):

   km/gal(US)=3mpg×1.609344=4.828032km/gal(US)

2. Convert 15 mpg to km/gal(US):

   km/gal(US)=15mpg×1.609344=24.14016km/gal(US)

3. Convert 17 mpg to km/gal(US):

   km/gal(US)=17mpg×1.609344=27.35885km/gal(US)

4. Convert 3 km/gal(US) to mpg:

   mpg=3km/gal(US)×0.6213712=1.864114mpg

5. Convert 15 km/gal(US) to mpg:

   mpg=15km/gal(US)×0.6213712=9.320568mpg

6. Convert 17 km/gal(US) to mpg:

   mpg=17km/gal(US)×0.6213712=10.56331mpg
