Background

Fuel consumption: L/100km (AU/EU), MPG (US/UK), km/L (Japan/India). Higher MPG = better, but lower L/100km = better. Inverse relationship makes comparison unintuitive.

The Inverse Relationship

7 L/100km ≈ 33.6 MPG (US) or 40.4 MPG (imp). Small improvements at high consumption save more fuel.

US vs Imperial MPG

US gallon = 3.785 L; imperial = 4.546 L. 40 MPG (imp) ≈ 33.3 MPG (US). Always verify which gallon.
