Gallons per 100 miles (US) is the standard fuel-efficiency measurement in the United States, similar to L/100km in metric countries. For example, a Toyota Camry hybrid averages about 2.5 gal/100mi (≈5.9 L/100km), a Ford F-150 pickup uses around 5 gal/100mi (≈11.8 L/100km), and a large SUV like a Chevrolet Suburban might consume 7 gal/100mi (≈16.5 L/100km). This unit is widely used in vehicle specifications, fuel economy labels for calculating fuel costs over long distances. 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 Miles (US) (gal/100mi (US)) and Liters per 100 Miles (L/100mi), use the following formulas:
1 Gallons per 100 Miles (US) (gal/100mi (US)) = 3.785411784 Liters per 100 Miles (L/100mi)
1 Liters per 100 Miles (L/100mi) = 0.26417205235814845 Gallons per 100 Miles (US) (gal/100mi (US))
4.7 gal/100mi (US) = 4.7 * 3.785411784 L/100mi = 17.7914353848 L/100mi
5.9 gal/100mi (US) = 5.9 * 3.785411784 L/100mi = 22.333929525600002 L/100mi
6.5 gal/100mi (US) = 6.5 * 3.785411784 L/100mi = 24.605176596 L/100mi
8 gal/100mi (US) = 8 * 3.785411784 L/100mi = 30.283294272 L/100mi
12.2 gal/100mi (US) = 12.2 * 3.785411784 L/100mi = 46.18202376479999 L/100mi
14.1 gal/100mi (US) = 14.1 * 3.785411784 L/100mi = 53.374306154399996 L/100mi
