Converting 7.7 Gallons/100 Miles to Kilometers
You're likely trying to convert fuel efficiency from the US customary system (gallons per 100 miles) to the metric system (liters per 100 kilometers). Here's how to do it:
Understanding the Conversion
- Gallons to Liters: 1 US gallon is approximately equal to 3.785 liters.
- Miles to Kilometers: 1 mile is approximately equal to 1.609 kilometers.
Calculation Steps
-
Convert Gallons to Liters: Multiply the fuel consumption in gallons by 3.785.
- In this case, 7.7 gallons * 3.785 liters/gallon = 29.1845 liters.
-
Convert Miles to Kilometers: Multiply the distance in miles by 1.609.
- 100 miles * 1.609 kilometers/mile = 160.9 kilometers.
-
Calculate Liters per 100 Kilometers: Divide the liters consumed (29.1845) by the distance in kilometers (160.9) and then multiply by 100 to get the fuel efficiency in liters per 100 kilometers.
- (29.1845 liters / 160.9 kilometers) * 100 = 18.16 liters/100 kilometers
Result
Therefore, 7.7 gallons per 100 miles is equivalent to approximately 18.16 liters per 100 kilometers.
