1 km/L ≈ 2.352 mpg (US). Edit either value to convert instantly.
Conversion formula
mpg (US) = 235.214583 / (100 / (km/L))1 km/L ≈ 2.35215 mpg (US)
kilometer per liter (km/L)
Kilometers per liter measures distance traveled using 1 L; L/100 km = 100 ÷ (km/L), so 20 km/L = 5 L/100 km.

mile per US gallon (mpg (US))
US miles per gallon measures distance per 3.785411784 L; consumption in L/100 km equals 235.214583 divided by mpg, so 30 mpg ≈ 7.84 L/100 km.
