Fuel Consumption Conversion Calculator to Convert MPG and Liters per 100KM

Fuel Consumption Conversion Calculator Sign

This calculator was created in response to the following sent to me by a site visitor from Canada:

Do you have or could you do a petrol conversion calculator that could tell me what the Miles per Gallon mileage is on new car listings when it only says the Litres per 100 kilometers, or the other way around?

This fuel economy conversion calculator will convert liters per 100 kilometers to miles per gallon (US and Imperial) as well as convert miles per gallon to liters per 100 kilometers.

Plus, unlike other online gas mileage conversion calculators, this converter will also include the step-by-step solving of the conversion formula in the generated results.

And finally, the calculator also allows you to create a custom, fuel consumption conversion chart that you can print out and take with you when you go car shopping.

Adjust Calculator Width:

Move the slider to left and right to adjust the calculator width. Note that the Help and Tools panel will be hidden when the calculator is too wide to fit both on the screen. Moving the slider to the left will bring the instructions and tools panel back into view.

Also note that some calculators will reformat to accommodate the screen size as you make the calculator wider or narrower. If the calculator is narrow, columns of entry rows will be converted to a vertical entry form, whereas a wider calculator will display columns of entry rows, and the entry fields will be smaller in size ... since they will not need to be "thumb friendly".

Show/Hide Popup Keypads:

Select Show or Hide to show or hide the popup keypad icons located next to numeric entry fields. These are generally only needed for mobile devices that don't have decimal points in their numeric keypads. So if you are on a desktop, you may find the calculator to be more user-friendly and less cluttered without them.

Stick/Unstick Tools:

Select Stick or Unstick to stick or unstick the help and tools panel. Selecting "Stick" will keep the panel in view while scrolling the calculator vertically. If you find that annoying, select "Unstick" to keep the panel in a stationary position.

If the tools panel becomes "Unstuck" on its own, try clicking "Unstick" and then "Stick" to re-stick the panel.
