Conversion Definitions
mpg: Miles per gallon (mpg) measures how many miles a vehicle can travel on one gallon of fuel, specifically in imperial units, used mainly in the UK and US. It indicates fuel efficiency, with higher values meaning less fuel used per mile.
liters: Liters are metric units of volume used to quantify liquids like fuel, representing the amount of space a fuel takes, with 1 liter equal to 1000 cubic centimeters. It is standard in most countries outside the US for measuring fuel consumption.
