How many kilometers does a liter of petrol take a vehicle

The average miles per gallon(mpg) of US vehicles in the year 2017 was 24.9 miles. Not spectacular but it is a base. Every vehicle and country will have different answers.

Since you asked for kilometers per liter, some conversions will be necessary.

The following conversion factors will be useful.

1 gallon = 3.785 liters

1 mile = 1.609 km

Part 1.

Using the US average mpg = 24.9 miles, lets convert this to kilometers.

24.9 miles x 1.609 km/mile = 24.9 x 1.609 km =

40.06 km

Part 2.

Now find the kilometers per liter of petrol

40.06 km /3.785 liters ≈ 10.58 km/l

Double Check: recalculated

Answer: Average Kilometers per Liter of petrol for US vehicles in 2017 was 10.58 km/l
