Fuel Economy
Why two MPG values? An Imperial gallon is larger than a US gallon, so US MPG and Imperial MPG are different numbers for the same vehicle.

L/100 km or MPG?
Speak both languages.
Convert Canadian fuel economy to US or Imperial MPG, km/L and back again. Then estimate how much fuel a trip will use.

Lower L/100 km is better
In L/100 km, a lower number means the vehicle uses less fuel. In MPG and km/L, a higher number means better fuel economy. That's why converting between them uses a reciprocal formula.
Trip fuel estimate
The trip calculator multiplies distance by the converted L/100 km rate. Fuel cost is simply estimated litres × the price per litre you enter; it does not attempt to predict changing fuel prices or driving conditions.
