How Do You Convert Miles Per Gallon From U.S?
No matter where you’re driving, a mile per gallon (MPG) rating measures the number of miles your car will go for each gallon of fuel consumed. When referring to fuel economy, however, the unit of a gallon can vary between countries. In the U.S., a gallon is 128 fluid ounces, but in the U.K. another unit, the Imperial gallon, is commonly used for fuel measurement. The Imperial Gallon is significantly larger than the U.S. gallon, meaning that a car in the U.S. would have a lower MPG rating than that same car as measured by the Imperial MPG rating. Start with your calculator. Take the U.S. MPG rating your wish to convert and multiply it by 1.201. The product of this multiplication is the new Imperial MPG rating If you wish to convert from Imperial MPG to U.S. MPG, multiply the Imperial MPG rating by .833. The product will now be in U.S. MPG.
