100 miles is approximately 3.7854 litres
Converting 100 miles to litres involves understanding the relationship between distance and volume, which might seem unrelated but can be linked through fuel consumption calculations. This conversion assumes a specific fuel efficiency to relate miles traveled to litres of fuel used.
Introduction
This page provides a conversion from miles to litres based on fuel efficiency. Since miles measure distance and litres measure volume, the conversion depends on a vehicle’s miles per litre (mpL). By knowing how many miles a vehicle can travel per litre, we can estimate fuel used for 100 miles.

Conversion Formula
The formula to convert miles to litres based on fuel efficiency is: Litres = Miles / miles per litre. This works because if a vehicle runs a certain number of miles per litre, dividing the total miles by that number gives the total litres used. For example, if a car gets 25 miles per litre, then for 100 miles:
- Litres = 100 miles / 25 miles per litre
- Litres = 4
This calculation is straightforward: it tells us how many litres of fuel are needed to cover 100 miles, given the vehicle’s efficiency.
Conversion Example
- Suppose you want to find out how many litres are needed for 60 miles if your vehicle gets 20 miles per litre:
- – Step 1: Write the formula: Litres = 60 / 20
- – Step 2: Perform the division: 60 / 20 = 3
- – Result: You need 3 litres to travel 60 miles with this fuel efficiency.
- Another example, converting 150 miles with a vehicle that gets 30 miles per litre:
- – Step 1: Write the formula: Litres = 150 / 30
- – Step 2: Calculate: 150 / 30 = 5
- – Result: 5 litres are required for 150 miles.

Conversion Definitions
Miles is a unit of distance measuring how far a vehicle travels over a certain path, commonly used in the US and UK; it equals approximately 1.609 kilometers. Litres is a volume measurement representing the amount of liquid, like fuel, contained in a container, equal to 1 cubic decimeter.
Conversion FAQs
How does fuel efficiency affect miles to litres conversion?
Fuel efficiency, measured in miles per litre, directly influences the conversion. Higher efficiency means fewer litres are needed for the same miles because the vehicle consumes less fuel per mile. Lower efficiency increases the litres needed.
Can this conversion be used for all types of vehicles?
No, because different vehicles have varying fuel efficiencies. The calculation assumes a specific miles per litre value. For accurate results, you need to know your vehicle’s actual fuel efficiency and adjust the formula accordingly.
What if my vehicle’s fuel efficiency changes during a trip?
If efficiency varies, it’s best to use an average miles per litre based on typical performance. For precise calculations, measure fuel consumption over segments of your trip and calculate an average efficiency before converting miles to litres.
Is this conversion applicable for electric vehicles?
No, because electric vehicles do not use litres of fuel; they use units like kWh or miles per charge. Miles to litres conversions only apply to fuel-powered vehicles where fuel volume relates to distance traveled.
How can I determine my vehicle’s miles per litre?
To find your vehicle’s miles per litre, divide the total miles traveled by the total litres of fuel used during a specific period. This gives you an average efficiency which can then be used for conversions.
