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 miles (L/100mi) combines metric fuel measurement with imperial distance. It shows how many liters of fuel a car uses to travel 100 miles. For example, a car that consumes 6 L/100mi is roughly equivalent to 39 mpg US. This unit is handy when comparing European or Asian import cars in North America.
To convert between Gallons per 100 Kilometers (US) (gal/100km (US)) and Liters per 100 Miles (L/100mi), use the following formulas:
1 Gallons per 100 Kilometers (US) (gal/100km (US)) = 6.092029742109696 Liters per 100 Miles (L/100mi)
1 Liters per 100 Miles (L/100mi) = 0.1641489031295661 Gallons per 100 Kilometers (US) (gal/100km (US))
1.5 gal/100km (US) = 1.5 * 6.092029742109696 L/100mi = 9.138044613164544 L/100mi
2.5 gal/100km (US) = 2.5 * 6.092029742109696 L/100mi = 15.230074355274239 L/100mi
3.5 gal/100km (US) = 3.5 * 6.092029742109696 L/100mi = 21.322104097383935 L/100mi
