12 mpg (US) to L/100km
19.6 L/100km
12 miles per US gallon equals 19.6013 litres per 100 kilometres.
Consumption and economy are inverses of each other, so the conversion is a division rather than a multiplication — and a lower L/100km figure means a higher mpg.
How the conversion works
This one is a formula rather than a single multiplier:
mpg (US) = 235.215 ÷ (L/100km), and the same the other way → 19.6013 L/100km
Going the other way: 20 L/100km to mpg (US) — the closest published value to 19.6 L/100km.
