2.82481 * m km/L = n MPG (Imperial gallon) (Seen on two websites) Ans = 45 MPG
mpg = kpl * 0.62137 * 3.785 (Seen on one website) Ans = 54 MPG
The Internet, home of reliable information since 1992. OK, so which is it, how do you go from KPL to MPG?
Kilometers per litre (KPL) to Miles per gallon (MPG)

? Huh ?
1 km/l * 1 l / 0.264 gallons (US) * 0.6214 miles / km = 2.35 mpg
You can confirm this in Google: type “1 km/litre in mpg” in a Google search box.
In Canada, “mileage” is typically given in litres per 100 km.
1 litre / 100 km = ~235 mpg. It’s an inverse relationship here though. Again, this works in Google. For example, a Honda Civic gets about 4.5 L/100km in town, which works out to about 52.3 mpg.
The Google calculator is great!

Imperial, not USA, but thanks for the response.
I’m making the assumption that the Google Calc is in the American Gallon.

Right. So, to get the UK gallon equivalent, I typed:
1 km/litre in miles per Imperial gallon
into Google and got back:
1 (km / litre) = 2.82481053 miles per Imperial gallon
which looks like it corresponds to your first one. The second corresponds to the US gallon calculation.

That explains the maths differences, if only the sites stated Imperial or USA … Sigh
Thanks!

I’ve been looking around for some help converting MPG to miles per litre and came back with some of the same issue s with UK MPG vs US MPG. Then I found this web page:

That solved my problem for me.
