Fuel Consumption Conversion

What is Fuel Consumption Conversion?

Fuel consumption conversion is the process of changing a measurement from one unit of fuel efficiency to another. This is crucial for comparing vehicle efficiency across different countries and standards.

Common Units and Conversion Formulas

Here are some common fuel consumption units and their conversion formulas:

• Miles per Gallon (MPG) to Liters per 100 km (L/100km): \(L/100km = \frac{235.214583}{MPG}\)
• Liters per 100 km (L/100km) to Miles per Gallon (MPG): \(MPG = \frac{235.214583}{L/100km}\)
• Kilometers per Liter (km/L) to Miles per Gallon (MPG): \(MPG = km/L \times 2.352145833\)
• Miles per Gallon (MPG) to Kilometers per Liter (km/L): \(km/L = \frac{MPG}{2.352145833}\)
• Liters per 100 km (L/100km) to Kilometers per Liter (km/L): \(km/L = \frac{100}{L/100km}\)
• Kilometers per Liter (km/L) to Liters per 100 km (L/100km): \(L/100km = \frac{100}{km/L}\)

Calculation Steps

1. Identify the fuel consumption value to be converted and its current unit.
2. Determine the desired unit for conversion.
3. Select the appropriate conversion formula.
4. Apply the conversion formula.
5. Calculate the result and round to the desired precision.

Example Calculation

Let's convert 30 MPG to L/100km:

1. Fuel consumption to convert: 30 MPG
2. Desired unit: L/100km
3. Conversion formula: \(L/100km = \frac{235.214583}{MPG}\)
4. Apply the formula: \(L/100km = \frac{235.214583}{30} \approx 7.84\)
5. Result: 30 MPG ≈ 7.84 L/100km
