Kilometers Per Gallon Imperial To Miles Per Gallon Us (km/gal (UK) to mpg (US)) Converter

Welcome to our Kilometers Per Gallon Imperial to Miles Per Gallon US (km/gal (UK) to mpg (US)) Converter! This handy tool allows you to quickly and easily convert fuel efficiency measurements between the Imperial system used in the UK and the US customary system.

Let’s break down these units. Kilometers per Gallon Imperial (km/gal (UK)) measures how many kilometers a vehicle can travel on one Imperial gallon of fuel. The Imperial gallon is a unit of volume used in the UK and some other Commonwealth countries, and it is equivalent to approximately 4.54609 liters. Miles per Gallon US (mpg (US)), on the other hand, measures how many miles a vehicle can travel on one US gallon of fuel. The US gallon is a different unit of volume, equivalent to approximately 3.78541 liters.

Converting between these two units requires accounting for both the difference in distance units (kilometers vs. miles) and the difference in volume units (Imperial gallons vs. US gallons). To convert from km/gal (UK) to mpg (US), you need to multiply the km/gal (UK) value by a conversion factor. This factor is derived from the relationship between kilometers and miles (1 mile ≈ 1.60934 kilometers) and the relationship between Imperial gallons and US gallons (1 Imperial gallon ≈ 1.20095 US gallons). The conversion formula is approximately: mpg (US) ≈ km/gal (UK) × 0.621371 ÷ 1.20095 ≈ km/gal (UK) × 0.51703. Our converter handles this calculation for you, providing a quick and accurate result.
