5.88 L/100km
40 miles per US gallon equals 5.8804 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 → 5.8804 L/100km
