Title: Converting Fuel Economy data
Post by: AlanHo on January 21, 2012, 13:35:32: A quick way of converting fuel economy data is as follows
(For UK gallons)

L/100 Km = 282.5 divided by mpg

mpg = 282.5 divided by L/100 Km

To convert miles into kilometers - multiply miles by 1.61

To convert kilometers into miles - multiply Kilometers by 0.62

To convert litres to UK gallons - muliply litres by 0.22

To convert gallons to litres - multiply gallons by 4.55

Alternatively open this website and use the conversion there :-

Post by: Phil №❶ on January 22, 2012, 03:28:29: Years ago, working with surveyors, we had official conversion booklets with many figures for distance, volume etc. Two I committed to memory were,

Kms to Miles (statute) / 1.609344

Litres to Imp Galls / 4.546086865

They're firmly embedded in my memory & used to this day.

It's actually not that bad, it's credit card size when folded, and being solar powered I haven't had to replace batteries. :D
