Litres to gallons converter

Our free tool converts between litres and gallons, so you can see exactly how much fuel it takes to fill your tank

Dino BurattiResearcher & writer

With a masters degree in automotive journalism, Dino has a forensic knowledge of the car industry and works closely with our lab to find the best (and worst) models.

Five fuel pump nozzles in various colors (green, red, yellow, orange, pink) are displayed against a bright background.

Fuel economy is typically measured in miles per gallon, but at the fuel pump petrol and diesel is measured in litres. Using our free tool, you can convert between the two so you can more accurately judge your car's fuel economy.

Our lab tests discover a car’s true mpg by using a rolling road, which means every car can be tested in the exact same way, and the same environment.

The test roads imitate city, out-of-town and motorway driving for extended periods of time - something the official tests don't do - which allows you to see how the mpg could affect your pocket depending on the roads you typically drive on.
