MPG/KPL

This App is useful mostly for Americans traveling in countries that use the metric system for distance and liquid measurements. The conversion from US to metric is not easily done without a calculator or pen and paper. This App will give you the distance and fuel usage conversions quickly and simply.

The following conversion factors are used in this App:

1 mile is equal to 1.609 kilometers

1 kilometer is equal to .6214 miles

1 US gallon is equal to 3.785 liters

1 Liter is equal to .2642 US gallons

To find miles per gallons (mpg), enter the requested data in miles and gallons, then click the “US GALLONS” button. For kilometers per liter (KPL), enter the data in kilometers and liters and click the “LITERS” button.

If you just want to know distance in miles or kilometers, enter the distance data and a “0” for the “Fuel Amount.”

If using the trip odometer, enter a “0” as the “Starting Odometer” reading, then the “Ending Odometer” reading and the “Fuel Amount.”

To see the results in miles and US gallons, click the “US GALLONS” button. The corresponding kilometers and K/L with be displayed below those results. To see the results in kilometers and liters, click the “LITERS” button. The corresponding miles and US gallons result is likewise displayed below.

Remember, 100 miles is 160.09 kilometers, but 100 kilometers is only 62.14 US miles. If you switch back and forth between “US GALLONS” and “LITERS” the distances and fuel usage will result in different amounts because the conversions are different.

Clicking the “HOME” button will close the App and hold the entered data on most phones. Clicking the “BACK” button clears the entered data. Nothing is permanently stored on your phone by this App.

Imperial gallons are not provided for in this App.
