Fuel Consumption Converter (L/100km / mpg US / mpg UK / km/L)

Convert fuel consumption / fuel economy between L/100km, miles per US gallon (mpg US), miles per Imperial gallon (mpg UK), and km/L. mpg and L/100km are reciprocal (higher mpg = lower L/100km), so conversion goes through the km/L axis, not a single multiplier. Defining constants are exact by law: 1 US gallon = 3.785411784 L (NIST HB 44), 1 Imperial gallon = 4.54609 L (UK W&M Act 1985), 1 mile = 1.609344 km (1959 agreement). Reference: a compact car at ~6 L/100km ≈ 39 mpg US ≈ 47 mpg UK.
