About US Gallons per 100 Miles
US gallons per 100 miles is the volumetric consumption figure displayed alongside mpg on the EPA Monroney fuel-economy label on all new US vehicles since 2013. A smaller number means a more efficient car. At $4/gal, gal/100mi × 4 gives the dollar fuel cost per 100 miles. Ranges: 1.5-2 gal/100mi for efficient compacts (50-67 mpg); 2.5-3.5 for mainstream sedans (28-40 mpg); 4-6 for crossovers/light trucks (17-25 mpg). 1 US gal/100mi = 3.785411784/1.609344 = 2.3521 L/100km.
About Kilometers per Liter
Kilometers per liter (km/L) is the standard fuel economy unit in Japan, South Korea, India, Indonesia, Brazil, and most of Latin America and Southeast Asia. Japan's WLTC test cycle certifies fuel economy in km/L under JIS D 1012. Representative WLTC values: Toyota Prius ~26-32 km/L; Honda Jazz hybrid ~28-36 km/L; Hyundai Tucson petrol ~11-14 km/L; Royal Enfield Bullet 350 (India) ~35-42 km/L; 50cc scooter ~40-55 km/L. Hypermiling records: a Prius exceeding 80 km/L. 1 km/L = 100/(km/L value) L/100km = 2.352 mpg(US).
