How to Convert Gallon (US) per 100 miles to Liter per 100 kilometers

Converting Gallon (US) per 100 miles (gal (US)/100mi) to Liter per 100 kilometers (L/100km) is a core calculation in Fuel Economy, which measures the vehicular travel distance achieved per unit volume of consumed liquid or gaseous fuel. This calculation navigates the boundary between the International Metric System (SI) and British Imperial / US Customary engineering standards. In contemporary metrology, Imperial units are defined in terms of exact SI standards via international agreements—notably NIST SP 811 and the 1959 International Yard and Pound Agreement. Exactly 1 Gallon (US) per 100 miles equals 2.352146 Liter per 100 kilometers, while 1 L/100km equals 0.425144 gal (US)/100mi.

Mathematical Conversion Derivation via Coherent SI Base Unit

Under the International System of Quantities (ISQ), dimensional conversion between non-SI units is rigorously resolved by bridging through the coherent SI base unit (kilometer per liter (km/L)) without arbitrary rounding:

Vtarget=Vsource×(ksource→SIktarget→SI)V_{\text{target}} = V_{\text{source}} \times \left( \frac{k_{\text{source} \to \text{SI}}}{k_{\text{target} \to \text{SI}}} \right)
Universal Dimensional Conversion Law (ISO 80000 / NIST SP 811)
1. Source SI Bridge (ksource):1 gal (US)/100mi = 0.0235215 kilometer per liter (km/L)
2. Target SI Bridge (ktarget):1 L/100km = 0.01 kilometer per liter (km/L)
Step-by-step substitution for Gallon (US) per 100 miles → Liter per 100 kilometers:V(L/100km) = V(gal (US)/100mi) × ( 0.0235215 / 0.01 ) = V(gal (US)/100mi) × 2.352146
Mathematical FormulaValue in Liter per 100 kilometers = Value in Gallon (US) per 100 miles × 2.35214583Direct computational formula applied for standard conversion.
Worked Example

To convert 120 Gallon (US) per 100 miles (gal (US)/100mi) to Liter per 100 kilometers (L/100km): multiply 120 by 2.352146 to get 282.2575 L/100km. At an industrial engineering scale, 240 gal (US)/100mi converts to 564.515 L/100km.

Inverse check: 1 L/100km = 0.425144 gal (US)/100mi.
