About this conversion
Liters per km and Miles per US gallon are both units used to measure fuel economy. Liters per kilometer (L/km) measures how many liters of fuel a vehicle consumes over one kilometer; a lower number means better efficiency. It is used for precise consumption tracking. Miles per US gallon (mpg) measures how many miles a vehicle travels using one US gallon of fuel; a higher number means better efficiency. It is the standard fuel economy unit used in the United States. Liters per km is a distance-per-volume efficiency unit while miles per us gallon is a volume-per-distance consumption unit, so converting between them means inverting the value rather than multiplying by a flat factor: 1 L/km = 2.352145833 mpg. This relationship stays accurate for automotive fuel efficiency ratings, vehicle comparisons and shopping, as well as EPA, WLTP and other international fuel economy standards.
