Convert metric fuel consumption into US miles per gallon.
Start With Litres Used Per 100 Kilometres
Convert metric fuel consumption into US miles per gallon.
8 L/100 km becomes approximately 29.4018229167 mpg (US).
Interpret The US-MPG Output
The reciprocal factor is derived from exactly 3.785411784 L per US gallon and exactly 1.609344 km per international mile; its decimal expansion is approximately 235.2145833333.
MPG means miles per US liquid gallon on these two established routes; Imperial MPG uses a different gallon.
Direction, Zero, And Real-World Limits
Higher MPG and lower L/100 km both indicate less fuel use under their respective definitions; the numbers run in opposite directions.
Zero has no reciprocal result. Unit conversion does not predict trip cost or mileage under changing road, load, weather, and vehicle conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
It returns miles per US liquid gallon. Imperial MPG uses a different gallon and is not silently substituted.
L/100 km measures fuel per distance, while US MPG measures distance per fuel. The reciprocal directions make their numeric trends opposite.
The reciprocal formula would divide by zero, so the tool shows no result rather than Infinity, NaN, or a misleading finite value.
