About Liters per 100 km and Miles per Gallon (US)

Liters per 100 kilometers measures fuel consumption — lower is better. It is the official fuel economy figure in Europe, Australia, and most metric countries, and inverts the efficiency units used elsewhere. Miles per US gallon measures distance per fuel — higher is better. It is the EPA window-sticker figure on every new car sold in the United States. The two units are related by a formula rather than a fixed factor; a value of 1 Liters per 100 km corresponds to 235.214583 Miles per Gallon (US). Liters per 100 km to Miles per Gallon (US) conversion comes up most often in European and Australian car specifications and in fleet fuel budgeting, typically when figures need restating for US car shopping and EPA ratings.

Precision and Rounding: Fuel economy units are reciprocal of each other — consumption (L/100 km) falls as efficiency (mpg, km/L) rises — so conversions are formula-based, not simple factors, and small mpg differences matter more at low values than high ones. One decimal place is standard for window stickers and trip computers.
