How to Convert Liter/100 km to Gallon (UK)/mile

Converting Liter/100 km (L/100km) to Gallon (UK)/mile (gal (UK)/mi) is a core calculation in Fuel Consumption, which measures vehicular energy efficiency by comparing fuel volume burned per standard distance traveled. 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 Liter/100 km equals 0.00354006 Gallon (UK)/mile, while 1 gal (UK)/mi equals 282.481088 L/100km.

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 (liter per 100 kilometers (L/100km)) 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 L/100km = 1 liter per 100 kilometers (L/100km)
2. Target SI Bridge (ktarget):1 gal (UK)/mi = 282.481088 liter per 100 kilometers (L/100km)
Step-by-step substitution for Liter/100 km → Gallon (UK)/mile:V(gal (UK)/mi) = V(L/100km) × ( 1 / 282.481088 ) = V(L/100km) × 0.00354006
Mathematical FormulaValue in Gallon (UK)/mile = Value in Liter/100 km × 0.00354006Direct computational formula applied for standard conversion.
Worked Example

Evaluating an input of 12 Liter/100 km (L/100km) produces 0.0424807 Gallon (UK)/mile (gal (UK)/mi). In heavy-duty utility and industrial workloads, 240 L/100km equals 0.849614 gal (UK)/mi.

Inverse check: 1 gal (UK)/mi = 282.481088 L/100km.
