How to convert MPG to MPL
In this guide, we’ll be discussing how to convert MPG (Miles Per Gallon) to MPL (Miles Per Litre). Both of these units are used to measure fuel efficiency in vehicles. While most countries use MPL as the standard unit for measuring fuel efficiency, some still use MPG. Therefore, knowing how to convert between the two units can be useful when comparing fuel efficiency between different vehicles.
Understanding MPG and MPL
Before we begin the conversion process, let’s first understand what MPG and MPL actually mean.
- MPG (Miles Per Gallon): This unit measures how many miles a vehicle can travel using one gallon of fuel. For example, if your car has a fuel efficiency of 25 MPG, this means that your car can travel 25 miles using one gallon of fuel.
- MPL (Miles Per litre): This unit measures how many miles a vehicle can travel using one litre of fuel. For instance, if your car has a fuel efficiency of 10 MPL, this means that your car can travel 10 miles using one litre of fuel.
Conversion Formula
To convert MPG to MPL, we will be using a simple conversion formula:
- MPL = 0.22 x MPG
This means that to get the equivalent MPL value for a given MPG value, we simply have to multiply it by 0.22
Step-by-Step Guide
Now that we understand the basics, let’s dive into the conversion process:
- Take note of the MPG value you want to convert.
- Multiply the MPG value by 0.22 (conversion formula).
- The result will be your equivalent MPL value.
For example, if you have a car with a fuel efficiency of 30 MPG, your calculation would look like this:
- MPL = 0.22 x 30 = 6.60
Therefore, our car has a fuel efficiency of approximately 6.60 MPL.
