Good to know
Miles per gallon and km per litre measure distance per fuel, while L/100 km measures fuel per distance, so one is the reciprocal of the other: a higher mpg means a lower L/100 km. L/100 km = 235.215 ÷ US mpg, or 282.481 ÷ UK mpg. UK mpg is higher than US mpg for the same car because the UK gallon is bigger.
