Global Fuel CalculatorL/100km to MPG Converter
Convert litres per 100 kilometres into miles per gallon, with both US and UK imperial results shown together. This is the direction most European vehicle specifications need converting in order to compare against an American or British review — and the one where a rough mental conversion is most likely to be wrong.
Because L/100km and MPG move in opposite directions — lower is better on one scale, higher on the other — even getting the direction of the comparison right by eye is harder than it looks. Entering the exact figure here removes that guesswork entirely.

What is 40 MPG in litres per 100km?
This is the reverse direction — divide 235.214 by 40 for the US-gallon basis, giving about 5.88 L/100km, or divide 282.481 by 40 for the imperial basis, giving about 7.06 L/100km. Use the MPG to L/100km converter on this site for that direction directly.
What is 10 litres per 100 km in MPG?
About 23.5 US MPG or 28.2 imperial MPG. Ten L/100km sits in fairly ordinary territory for a mid-size petrol car in mixed driving.
What is 35 MPG in litres?
Likely meant as "in L/100km": about 6.72 L/100km on a US-gallon basis, or about 8.07 L/100km on an imperial basis. As with any MPG figure, the answer depends on which gallon the original 35 MPG was measured in.
What does 4.9 L/100km convert to in MPG UK?
About 57.6 imperial MPG — a genuinely efficient figure, typical of a small diesel or hybrid rather than an average petrol car.
