How do I convert 15 km/L to mpg (US)?

Fifteen kilometers per liter equals about thirty five point two miles per gallon United States when you convert using miles per kilometer and liters per gallon.

To convert fifteen kilometers per liter to miles per gallon United States you multiply by the conversion factor from kilometers to miles and by the conversion factor from liters to gallons so the units cancel correctly. Start with fifteen kilometers per liter, then multiply by zero point six two one three seven one miles per kilometer so the kilometers cancel and you now have miles per liter. Next multiply by three point seven eight five four one one seven eight four liters per gallon so the liters cancel and you end up with miles per gallon. Doing those multiplications step by step gives about thirty five point two miles per gallon United States, which tells you how many miles the car can travel on one United States gallon of fuel. Writing each unit on top or bottom as you go helps you see which units cancel.

A common mistake is forgetting to cancel units correctly so you might accidentally invert a conversion factor, and the quick fix is to write the units for each factor and make sure unwanted units appear once on top and once on bottom so they cancel. Another mistake is using the wrong gallon type because there is a United States gallon and an imperial gallon, and the remedy is to always check that you are using United States gallons for miles per gallon United States.
