When specifying the efficiency of an engine, the distance that can be travelled on a certain amount if fuel is used.

This can be expressed as miles per gallon (mpg) for which the higher the better - the more miles that can be achieved for every gallon of fuel the better the efficiency of the engine (and driver).

Alternatively, it can be expressed as the number of liters of fuel required to travel 100 km (l/100km). In this case the lower the better.

To convert between the two divide 235.214 by the mpg or l/100km to get the other one.

If you had asked about litres per 100 kilometres, then I would have assumed you were English and not American (based on the spelling) and as such the gallon is the imperial gallon and not the US gallon, and the conversion is to divide 282.481 by the mpg or l/100 km to get the other one.
