Liters per 100 kilometers to Imperial miles per gallon formula
Imperial mpg = 282.480936 ÷ L/100km
Divide 282.480936 by the litres-per-100-kilometres value. MPG and L/100km are reciprocal measures: higher MPG is better, while lower L/100km is better. Use the imperial mpg to litres per 100km converter for the reverse direction.
