Conversion Factors

You can convert the values from one unit of measure to another compatible unit of measure based on the conversion factors.

Energy Unit Conversion

Energy unit conversions are standard across all fuel types.

From Unit To Unit Multiplication Factor
L per hr G per hr 0.264172050
Miles km 1.60934
g Kg 0.001
Nautical miles Miles 1.15

To convert:

  • L per 100km to mpg

    mpg = 235.215 / (L per 100km)

  • mpg to L per 100km

    L per 100km = 235.215 / (mpg)
