I dont' know how many petrol is one gallon..?!

In my country counting this way:

10 litres in 100km..?! :?
 
so thats almost 4 L every 1.6km hahaahah
 
Acording to my BMW computer my BMW 523 will do 35.5 MPG.
Which is about 8L/100km
 
Is that on a mixed loop.. or resetting the computer on the highway .. i can get 29 mpg in a 740 doing the latter.

My brain hurts when I see fuel consumption in liter/100km or miles/gallon. All my life I used km/liter

That's odd. I've never heard of anyone measuring fuel consumption in km/l :p Although I think it's a great combination of the clever stretch/volume concept and the userfriendly metric system.
 
Everytime I fill it up it's resets when I push the trip meter to reset.

There is Consum 1 which is the total averege and Consum 2 which is from when you last filld it up.


I can get it down to 7.7L/100km but that's no fun.

BTW it's automatic which takes more fuel then manuals.
 
I find the best way to convert imperial MPG to L/100km is:

L/100km = (4.546/1.609*100)/MPG

which is:

L/100km = 282.5/MPG

therefore, if you get quoted 50MPG, then the L/100 would be:

L/100km= 282.5/50

which is 5.65L/100km.

If you're converting US MPG, replace the 4.546 with 3.788, so you end up with:

L/100km = 235.4/USMPG
 
As already mentioned, use Google calculator. Whenever I want to figure out my MPG, I look at the number of kilometers I've put on (I reset the trip odometer after every fillup), look at the number of litres I put in and go to Google.

Try doing a search on this:

542km / 41.633 l to mpg

and press search. Viola :)

Perhaps, but would that be to US MPG or imperial MPG?
