Conversion Formula
The formula to convert kmpl to mpg is:
mpg = kmpl × 2.35215
This works by converting kilometers to miles and liters to gallons. Since 1 kilometer equals about 0.621371 miles, and 1 liter equals approximately 0.264172 gallons, multiplying kmpl by (0.621371 / 0.264172) gives the mpg value.
Step-by-step example for 14 kmpl:
- Start with 14 kmpl.
- Multiply 14 by 0.621371 to convert kilometers to miles: 14 × 0.621371 = 8.699194 miles.
- Divide 8.699194 miles by 0.264172 gallons: 8.699194 ÷ 0.264172 = 32.9387 mpg.
Conversion Example
- Example: 20 kmpl
- Multiply 20 by 0.621371 → 12.42742 miles.
- Divide by 0.264172 gallons → 12.42742 ÷ 0.264172 = 47.045 mpg.
- Example: 7.5 kmpl
- 7.5 × 0.621371 = 4.660283 miles.
- 4.660283 ÷ 0.264172 = 17.641 mpg.
- Example: 35 kmpl
- 35 × 0.621371 = 21.747985 miles.
- 21.747985 ÷ 0.264172 = 82.3375 mpg.
- Example: 10 kmpl
- 10 × 0.621371 = 6.21371 miles.
- 6.21371 ÷ 0.264172 = 23.5215 mpg.

Conversion Definitions
kmpl: Kilometers per liter (kmpl) measures how far a vehicle can travel using one liter of fuel. It is a metric unit often used in countries using the metric system. Higher kmpl means better fuel efficiency, indicating more distance covered per unit of fuel.
mpg: Miles per gallon (mpg) measures the distance in miles a vehicle travels on one gallon of fuel. It is commonly used in the United States and other countries using the imperial system. Higher mpg indicates improved fuel economy, meaning less fuel consumption per mile.
Conversion FAQs
Why is the conversion factor 2.35215 used for kmpl to mpg?
Because 1 kilometer equals 0.621371 miles and 1 liter equals 0.264172 gallons, the conversion factor is the ratio 0.621371 divided by 0.264172, which equals approximately 2.35215. Multiplying kmpl by this factor converts it into mpg correctly.
Can the conversion result be negative if kmpl is negative?
If input kmpl is negative, the conversion formula will produce a negative mpg value mathematically. However, negative fuel efficiency values do not make physical sense for vehicles. Negative numbers might appear in calculations due to errors or testing but are invalid in practical terms.
What’s the difference between US and UK gallons in conversion?
The conversion uses US gallons (1 US gallon = 3.78541 liters). If UK gallons (4.54609 liters) were used, the conversion factor would be different, about 2.825 instead. Thus, mpg values differ depending on which gallon standard is applied.
Is this conversion precise for all vehicle types?
The formula only converts units, not actual vehicle performance. Real-world fuel economy may vary because of driving conditions, vehicle type, and measurement methods. The conversion is accurate for unit conversion but doesn’t account for such external factors.
How to convert mpg back to kmpl?
To convert mpg to kmpl, divide the mpg value by 2.35215. This reverses the earlier multiplication and converts miles per gallon back to kilometers per liter.
