30 kmpl is approximately 70.564 mpg.
To convert kilometers per liter (kmpl) to miles per gallon (mpg), you multiply the kmpl value by a factor that accounts for the difference in distance and volume units between kilometers/liters and miles/gallons. This conversion helps compare fuel efficiencies used in different countries.

Conversion Formula
The formula to convert kmpl to mpg is:
mpg = kmpl × 2.35215
This comes from converting kilometers to miles and liters to gallons. 1 kilometer equals approximately 0.621371 miles, and 1 liter equals about 0.264172 gallons. So, multiplying kmpl by (0.621371 ÷ 0.264172) gives you the mpg value.
For example, for 30 kmpl:
- Convert kilometers to miles: 30 km × 0.621371 = 18.64113 miles
- Convert liters to gallons: 1 liter = 0.264172 gallons
- Divide miles by gallons: 18.64113 miles ÷ 0.264172 gallons ≈ 70.564 mpg
Conversion Example
- Convert 15 kmpl to mpg:
- Multiply 15 by 2.35215
- 15 × 2.35215 = 35.28225 mpg
- Result: 15 kmpl equals approximately 35.282 mpg
- Convert 22.5 kmpl to mpg:
- 22.5 × 2.35215 = 52.923375 mpg
- So, 22.5 kmpl is about 52.923 mpg
- Convert 40 kmpl to mpg:
- 40 × 2.35215 = 94.086 mpg
- Meaning 40 kmpl equals 94.086 mpg

Conversion Definitions
kmpl: Kilometers per liter (kmpl) means the distance in kilometers a vehicle can travel using one liter of fuel. It measures fuel efficiency by showing how far the car runs per unit of fuel volume, commonly used in countries using the metric system.
mpg: Miles per gallon (mpg) is a fuel economy measurement indicating how many miles a vehicle travels per gallon of fuel consumed. This unit is typically used in countries using imperial or US customary units for volume and distance.
Conversion FAQs
Why does the conversion factor between kmpl and mpg have a decimal like 2.35215?
The number 2.35215 comes from converting kilometers to miles and liters to gallons. Since 1 km = 0.621371 miles, and 1 liter = 0.264172 gallons, dividing these gives approximately 2.35215. This factor converts the units correctly without mixing distance or volume.
Can I use the conversion formula directly for any vehicle fuel efficiency?
Yes, the formula works universally for converting kmpl values into mpg regardless vehicle type. However, real-world fuel efficiency might vary due to driving conditions, so the converted value is a theoretical equivalent.
Why is the converted mpg value larger than the original kmpl number?
Because miles are shorter than kilometers, and gallons are larger than liters, the combined effect makes mpg values numerically bigger than kmpl ones. The conversion factor more than doubles the kmpl figure to reflect these unit differences.
Is the mpg value the same in the UK and US when converting from kmpl?
No, the mpg value differs between US and UK gallons. The conversion here uses US gallons, so the mpg result fits US measuring. For UK gallons, the factor and result would be slightly different because the UK gallon is larger.
Can I use this conversion for motorcycles and trucks too?
The conversion formula applies for any vehicle’s fuel efficiency measured in kmpl, including motorcycles and trucks. The units conversion doesn’t depend on vehicle type, but fuel consumption figures might vary widely due to vehicle size and usage.
