Question

In the midsize Station wagon category, the Mercedes Benz E63 AMG S 4matix averages 15.63 L/100km while the Toyota Prius v averages 6.71 L/100km. Convert these fuel economies to miles per gallon.

Answer 1

first, invert them

100km/6.71 liters*3.78541Liters/USGallon * .62miles/km

100/6.71*3.79*1/3.78*.62 miles/gallon
100*3.79*.62/3.78 mi/gal

Answer 2

use your standard conversion factors for

gal/L and mi/km

Answer 3

To convert fuel economies from liters per 100 kilometers (L/100km) to miles per gallon (mpg), we can use the following conversion factor:

1 L/100km = 2.8247 mpg

Now, let's convert the fuel economies:

1. Mercedes Benz E63 AMG S 4matix:
- Fuel economy: 15.63 L/100km
- Conversion: 15.63 L/100km * 2.8247 mpg/L/100km = 44.11 mpg (approximately)

2. Toyota Prius v:
- Fuel economy: 6.71 L/100km
- Conversion: 6.71 L/100km * 2.8247 mpg/L/100km = 18.93 mpg (approximately)

Therefore, the Mercedes Benz E63 AMG S 4matix has an average fuel economy of approximately 44.11 mpg, while the Toyota Prius v has an average fuel economy of approximately 18.93 mpg.
