Gallons per 100 Kilometers (US) is used for comparing fuel efficiency in US gallons over metric distances, For example: a fuel-efficient hybrid (2.1 gal/100km = 8 L/100km), a typical SUV (3.2 gal/100km = 12 L/100km), or a performance car (4.8 gal/100km = 18 L/100km). Commonly seen in import vehicle reviews, and EPA fuel economy labels showing both mpg and L/100km equivalents. Convert by dividing L/100km by 3.785. Liters per 100 kilometers (L/100km) is the standard fuel efficiency unit in most countries, especially in Europe. It measures how many liters of fuel a car uses to travel 100 kilometers. A typical compact car averages 5–7 L/100km, while SUVs usually range between 8–12 L/100km. This unit is especially useful when comparing electric or hybrid cars.
To convert between Gallons per 100 Kilometers (US) (gal/100km (US)) and Liters per 100 Kilometers (L/100km), use the following formulas:
1 Gallons per 100 Kilometers (US) (gal/100km (US)) = 3.785411784 Liters per 100 Kilometers (L/100km)
1 Liters per 100 Kilometers (L/100km) = 0.26417205235814845 Gallons per 100 Kilometers (US) (gal/100km (US))
1.5 gal/100km (US) = 1.5 * 3.785411784 L/100km = 5.678117675999999 L/100km
2.5 gal/100km (US) = 2.5 * 3.785411784 L/100km = 9.46352946 L/100km
3.5 gal/100km (US) = 3.5 * 3.785411784 L/100km = 13.248941244 L/100km
