About Imperial Gallons per 100 Miles

Imperial gallons per 100 miles is the British volumetric consumption equivalent using the Imperial gallon (4.54609 L). Since the Imperial gallon is ~20.1% larger than the US gallon, a vehicle's Imp gal/100mi is correspondingly smaller than its US gal/100mi. A car at 7 L/100km needs 2.977 US gal/100mi but only 2.478 Imp gal/100mi. The unit appears in UK fleet management software and automotive engineering reports. A 50 mpg(Imp) car uses 2 Imp gal/100mi = 5.650 L/100km. 1 Imp gal/100mi = 4.54609/1.609344 = 2.8248 L/100km.

About Liters per Kilometer

Liters per kilometer (L/km) is 100× larger than L/100km, suited to heavy vehicles and industrial machinery. A European family car at 0.07 L/km; a Class 8 semi-truck 0.33-0.40 L/km; an M1 Abrams tank ~1.3 L/km on road, ~4 L/km off-road; a diesel mainline locomotive 5-8 L/km. Australian road trains (200+ t) log fuel in L/km to plan outback depot spacing. A Caterpillar 793F mining dump truck fully laden uses 4-6 L/km. 1 L/km = 100 L/100km.
