Understanding Efficiency Units
Different regions use different metrics to measure how efficient a car is. This tool handles the complex conversions for you:
- km/L: Kilometers per Liter. Higher is better.

- MPG: Miles Per Gallon. Used in the US and UK (though the gallon size differs). Higher is better.
Frequently Asked Questions
The calculator uses standard mathematical formulas for conversion. However, real-world fuel consumption can vary based on driving habits, traffic conditions, and vehicle load. Treat this as a close estimate.
Currently, this tool is designed for liquid fuel (Gas/Diesel). For EVs, you would need to calculate based on kWh per 100km and electricity rates.
The Imperial (UK) Gallon is larger than the US Gallon. Therefore, 1 MPG (UK) is approximately 1.2 MPG (US). Our tool adjusts for this difference automatically.
