30 kmpl is approximately equal to 70.56 mpg.
To convert kilometers per liter (kmpl) to miles per gallon (mpg), multiply the kmpl value by the factor 2.35214583. This factor accounts for the difference between kilometers and miles, and liters and gallons. So, 30 kmpl × 2.35214583 = 70.564375 mpg.

Conversion Formula
The conversion formula to change kilometers per liter (kmpl) into miles per gallon (mpg) is:
mpg = kmpl × 2.35214583
This factor comes from converting kilometers to miles and liters to gallons. There are approximately 0.621371 miles in a kilometer, and 1 liter equals 0.264172 gallons. Multiplying these gives 0.621371 ÷ 0.264172 ≈ 2.35214583.
For example, if you have 30 kmpl:
- Multiply 30 by 2.35214583
- 30 × 2.35214583 = 70.564375 mpg
- Rounded to four decimals: 70.5644 mpg
This conversion allows comparing fuel efficiency between metric and imperial systems.
Conversion Example
- Convert 15 kmpl to mpg:
- Multiply 15 by 2.35214583
- 15 × 2.35214583 = 35.282187 mpg
- Result: approximately 35.2822 mpg
- Convert 42 kmpl to mpg:
- 42 × 2.35214583 = 98.789 fmpg (Typo here: should be mpg)
- Result: about 98.789 mpg
- Convert 8.5 kmpl to mpg:
- 8.5 × 2.35214583 = 19.993239 mpg
- Result: nearly 19.9932 mpg
- Convert 50 kmpl to mpg:
- 50 × 2.35214583 = 117.6072915 mpg
- Result: approximately 117.6073 mpg

Conversion Definitions
kmpl: Kilometers per liter (kmpl) indicates the distance a vehicle can travel using one liter of fuel, measured in kilometers. It is a metric fuel efficiency measure widely used in countries that use the metric system, showing how far a car can go per unit volume of fuel.
mpg: Miles per gallon (mpg) represents the distance a vehicle travels on one gallon of fuel, measured in miles. It’s a common fuel efficiency measurement in countries like the US and UK, helping drivers estimate fuel consumption and compare vehicle efficiency.
Conversion FAQs
Why is the conversion factor for kmpl to mpg approximately 2.352?
The factor 2.352 comes from the ratio of miles to kilometers and gallons to liters. Since 1 mile equals 1.60934 kilometers and 1 gallon equals 3.78541 liters, dividing miles per kilometer by gallons per liter yields about 2.352. This factor converts metric fuel efficiency to imperial units accurately.
Does this conversion use US gallons or UK gallons for mpg?
The conversion uses the US gallon, which is equal to 3.78541 liters. UK gallons are larger (4.54609 liters), so using UK gallons would require a different conversion factor. The standard mpg in this context refers to US miles per gallon.
Can I use this formula for converting km/l to mpg for any vehicle type?
Yes, the formula applies to any vehicle regardless of type since it only converts units of fuel consumption. However, actual fuel efficiency varies based on vehicle type, engine, driving conditions, but the numeric conversion remains the same.
Is the conversion exact or just an estimate?
The conversion factor is mathematically exact based on unit definitions but when applied to real-world fuel efficiency, there may be rounding errors or variations due to measurement precision. The factor 2.35214583 is precise enough for most practical uses.
Why does the converted mpg value seem higher than kmpl?
Because a mile is longer than a kilometer and a gallon is larger than a liter, when converting, the number increases. So 30 kmpl converts to roughly 70.56 mpg, reflecting the difference in distance and volume units rather than actual efficiency improvement.
