How to convert kilometers per liter to miles per US gallon
Distance per fuel (mpg or km/L) increases with economy; fuel per distance (L/100 km) decreases. Converting between these forms is reciprocal, requires a positive value and depends on whether a gallon is US or Imperial.
mpg (US) = km/L ÷ 0.4251437074One mile per US gallon corresponds to 0.4251437074 kilometers per liter, so divide by that figure. Displayed constants may be rounded; the converter uses the stored factor before rounding the result.

Sources and precision
Table results are rounded to 8 significant digits; formula constants may be rounded to 10. Worked example answers use 6 significant digits. The converter starts at 6 significant digits and lets you change display precision. Calculations use the stored factors without intermediate rounding. Exact unit definitions do not make an input measurement more precise; conventional and measured factors follow the assumptions stated here.
