100 kilometers to mpg: approximately 37.28 miles per gallon
Converting 100 kilometers to miles per gallon results in about 37.28 mpg. This conversion helps understand fuel efficiency from metric distance to an imperial fuel consumption measure, giving drivers an idea of how far a vehicle can go on one gallon of fuel based on distance traveled in kilometers.
To convert kilometers to mpg, first, you need to understand that 1 kilometer equals approximately 0.621371 miles. Since mpg measures how many miles a vehicle travels per gallon of fuel, you also need the vehicle’s fuel consumption in liters per 100 km or its fuel efficiency in km/l. The standard conversion involves using the factor that 1 gallon equals 3.78541 liters and converting kilometers to miles to find mpg.

Conversion Formula
The conversion from kilometers to mpg uses the formula: mpg = (miles traveled) / (gallons used). Since 1 km equals about 0.621371 miles, to convert kilometers into miles, multiply the km value by 0.621371. To find mpg, divide miles by gallons of fuel used. If fuel consumption is known in liters per 100 km, convert liters to gallons (divide by 3.78541), then compute mpg by dividing miles by gallons used.
For example, if a car travels 100 km and consumes 8 liters of fuel, the steps are:
- Convert 100 km to miles: 100 * 0.621371 = 62.1371 miles
- Convert 8 liters to gallons: 8 / 3.78541 ≈ 2.113 gallons
- Calculate mpg: 62.1371 miles / 2.113 gallons ≈ 29.4 mpg
Conversion Example
- Convert 150 km to mpg, assuming the vehicle uses 10 liters per 100 km:
- Convert 150 km to miles: 150 * 0.621371 = 93.2057 miles
- Convert 10 liters to gallons: 10 / 3.78541 ≈ 2.64 gallons
- Divide miles by gallons: 93.2057 / 2.64 ≈ 35.3 mpg
- Convert 200 km to mpg, with fuel consumption of 12 liters per 100 km:
- Miles: 200 * 0.621371 = 124.274 miles
- Gallons: 12 / 3.78541 ≈ 3.17 gallons
- MPG: 124.274 / 3.17 ≈ 39.2 mpg
- Convert 75 km to mpg, assuming 6 liters per 100 km:
- Miles: 75 * 0.621371 = 46.6028 miles
- Gallons: 6 / 3.78541 ≈ 1.59 gallons
- MPG: 46.6028 / 1.59 ≈ 29.3 mpg

Conversion Definitions
Kilometers
Kilometers are units of distance measurement in the metric system, where 1 kilometer equals 1,000 meters, used worldwide for measuring longer distances like roads or travel routes.
mpg
MPG, miles per gallon, is a measurement of fuel efficiency indicating how many miles a vehicle can travel on one gallon of fuel, commonly used in the United States and UK to compare vehicle fuel consumption.
Conversion FAQs
How accurate is converting km to mpg using this method?
The conversion provides an approximate value based on average fuel consumption assumptions. Actual mpg may vary depending on vehicle type, driving conditions, and fuel efficiency measurements used in calculations.
Can I convert any km value to mpg with this tool?
Yes, the tool is designed to convert any km value assuming a standard fuel consumption rate. For precise results, input your vehicle’s specific fuel consumption data for accurate miles per gallon.
What factors affect the accuracy of km to mpg conversions?
Variations in fuel consumption rates, driving styles, vehicle conditions, and measurement methods influence conversion accuracy. Always consider these factors when interpreting results based on these calculations.
Is this conversion applicable for electric vehicles?
No, mpg is a measure used for fuel-powered vehicles; electric cars use different metrics like miles per kWh. Converting km to mpg isn’t relevant for electric vehicle efficiency assessments.
