How can this converter be useful?

Many countries, including Continental Europe, do not use MPG to measure car fuel consumption. Instead, they use Litres per 100 kilometres.

You might find our converter useful if you drive in Continental Europe. If you want to hire a car and need to budget your holiday, you will need to know how much you'll need to reserve for petrol. Most car rental companies in France, Germany, Italy, Spain, etc. do not provide the fuel consumption data in MPG but in Litres per 100 km.

Alternativelly, if you're coming from a country where Litres/100 kms are used (e.g. you have just moved to the United Kingdom and are looking for a car), our converter will give you a better idea of fuel economy of your chosen car.

This fuel consumption converter/calculator works regardless of car's fuel type - petrol (gas) and diesel.
