20 km/L = 5 L/100km

Calculation working

  1. US gallon basis: 1 US gal = 3.785411784 L; 1 mile = 1.609344 km.
  2. 20 km/L
  3. 100 ÷ 20 = 5 L/100km

Display: 10 significant digits. More digits do not make the original measurement more accurate.

Batch conversion

One value per line, up to 200. Uses the selected km/L → L/100km units. Invalid rows stay visible in the results and CSV.

Using this fuel economy converter

Compare distance-per-fuel economy with fuel-per-distance consumption on a consistent US-gallon basis.

Higher km/L or mpg means less fuel for the same distance. Lower L/100km means less fuel. Converting between these forms is reciprocal, not a constant multiplication.

Check before using the result

  • mpg here uses a US gallon. An Imperial-mpg figure requires a different conversion.
  • Zero and negative inputs are rejected. Real trip fuel also depends on load, speed, route, traffic and measurement conditions.

Definitions and method: NIST: unit conversion factors and rounding. Calculations use double-precision arithmetic; the display precision can be adjusted above.
