About L/100 km to MPG Converter
This converter turns liters per 100 km into miles per gallon. The two are inverses of each other, so the conversion divides a constant by the value instead of multiplying. It is free, needs no sign-up and runs in your browser, so nothing you enter is uploaded.
For example, 8 L/100 km is 29.4018 mpg, and 10 L/100 km is 23.5215 mpg. Notice the change is not proportional: doubling one value does not double the other, it halves it.
Lower L/100 km means a more efficient car, while higher mpg means a more efficient car. That is why the two figures move in opposite directions. The mpg figure here is the US gallon, not the imperial one.

L/100 km to MPG formula
Fuel use per distance and distance per fuel are reciprocals, so there is no single factor. The constant 235.2146 is 100 km in miles times the US gallon in liters.
The same formula works in both directions: divide 235.2146 by the value you have.
mpg = 235.2146 ÷ (L/100 km)Worked examples
10 L/100 km gives 23.5215 mpg
235.2146 ÷ 10 = 23.5215
12 L/100 km gives 19.6012 mpg
235.2146 ÷ 12 = 19.6012
25 L/100 km gives 9.40858 mpg
235.2146 ÷ 25 = 9.40858
