About Kilometers per US Gallon

Kilometers per US gallon (km/US gal) appears in regions where metric road distances coexist with US gallon fuel pricing - the US-Mexico border zone, parts of Latin America, and the Caribbean. 1 km/US gal = 1/3.785411784 km/L = 0.264172 km/L. A typical car at 12.75 km/L = 48.3 km/US gal; a scooter at 35 km/L = 132 km/US gal. Mexican Federal District fleet databases and Central American logistics records use this unit when US gallon fuel costs are referenced in kilometre-based route planning. 1 km/US gal = 0.264172 km/L.

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.
