About Imperial Gallons per Mile

Imperial gallons per mile is the British counterpart, using the 4.54609 L Imperial gallon. 1 Imp gal/mi = 4.54609/1.609344 × 100 = 282.481 L/100km - among the largest fuel-consumption values in practical use, representing large vessels and heavy machinery. It appears in older Royal Navy vessel technical logs and historical British railway and steam-locomotive records. As mpg(Imp) and gal/mi are reciprocals, a 50 mpg(Imp) car uses exactly 0.02 Imp gal/mi = 5.650 L/100km. 1 Imp gal/mi = 282.481 L/100km.

About Liters per Mile

Liters per mile (L/mi) combines the SI litre with the statute mile. 1 L/mi = 100/1.609344 = 62.137 L/100km - an extreme consumption scale. A vehicle consuming 1 L/mi burns as much as a car doing 62 L/100km (equivalent to large agricultural machinery or construction equipment). In endurance motorsport, race engineers convert telemetry fuel-flow (L/s) and lap distance (measured in miles) into L/mi for refuelling window calculations. An M1 Abrams tank consuming 3.3 L/km corresponds to 0.053 L/mi. 1 L/mi = 62.137 L/100km.
