Why convert MPG to L/100km on a road trip?

If you're crossing into Canada or Mexico, fuel pumps and rental signage use L/100km. Knowing both keeps you from doing roadside math at 11 PM in a parking lot.

Is this US gallons or imperial?

US gallons — the standard at every pump from Maine to California. If you're filling up in the UK, you'll want a different converter.

What's a 'good' L/100km number?

Anything under 8 L/100km is solid for a sedan, while 10–12 is typical for SUVs and pickups. Below 6 means you're driving something genuinely efficient.

Does my driving style change the result?

The calculator converts the number you give it. But yes — heavy AC, mountain passes, and roof boxes can all push your real-world MPG down, so re-run it after a tank or two on the trip.

Can I use this for a motorcycle or RV?

Absolutely. As long as you have an MPG figure, the math is the same. RVs especially benefit since they're often spec'd in MPG but compared globally in L/100km.

How accurate is the conversion?

It uses the exact ratio between US gallons and liters, and miles and kilometers. The output is precise to the decimal you input.

Do I need to make an account?

Nope. Open the page, type, get your answer. No logins, no email — just a quick tool for the road.
