I now live in France and have done for about three years. I still though think of fuel consumption in mpg. Trouble is, all I can get is the rather unwieldy l/100km. I've tried all the conversion factor websites that I can find but I can't find a formula that converts one to the other. Have I missed it or isn't there a straightforward formula?

The magic figure 282.481. For mpg to litres/100km: 282.481 divided by mpg, For litres/100km to mpg: 282.481 divided by litres/100km.

Real MPG enables you to register the fuel economy you are actually getting against your make and model of car, its engine and type of transmission.
Every time you enter an average consumption figure against your car, the overall average automatically adjusts to reflect it.
