## Overview

Enter liters per 100 kilometers and convert with mpg = 235.214583 ÷ (L/100km).

## Inputs

- **Liters per 100 Kilometers** (number): e.g. 8.5
- **Decimal Precision** (number)

## When to use

- When comparing the fuel efficiency of European or metric-spec vehicles with US or UK vehicles.
- When importing a car and needing to translate its official fuel economy ratings to local standards.
- When analyzing automotive datasets or specifications that mix metric and imperial fuel consumption units.

## How it works

- Enter the fuel consumption value in liters per 100 kilometers (L/100km).
- Set the desired decimal precision for the output, ranging from 0 to 10 decimal places.
- The tool calculates the equivalent miles per gallon using the formula: mpg = 235.214583 / (L/100km).

## Use cases

- Car buyers comparing fuel economy ratings between imported European cars and domestic models.
- Automotive bloggers writing reviews for international audiences who need to present fuel efficiency in both metric and imperial units.
- Logistics managers evaluating fleet fuel efficiency across regions using different measurement standards.

## Frequently asked questions

### What formula is used for the conversion?

The tool uses the standard formula: MPG = 235.214583 divided by L/100km.

### Does this tool convert to US MPG or UK MPG?

It converts to US MPG, which uses the standard conversion factor of 235.214583.

### Can I adjust the decimal precision of the result?

Yes, you can configure the decimal precision from 0 up to 10 decimal places.

### What happens if I enter 0 L/100km?

Division by zero is mathematically undefined, so the input must be a positive number greater than zero.

### Is this conversion tool free to use?

Yes, it is completely free and performs calculations instantly in your browser.
