    Google search for "convert km per liter to miles per us gallon" provide a calculator and conversion factor of 2.35214583, ie: km per liters times 2.35214583 equals mpg (US).

    My favourite is for converting liters per 100 km to mpg US. Divide either value into 235.2. It'll flip/flop between the two systems. I worked it out once, currently forget how, just cling to that value, lol.

    I was converting his reported Fuelly value of 8.8 km/l and that still comes out as 20.7 mpg US

    I'd be guessing it's 95 RON which is the same as the lowest unleaded in Europe.

    There is a lot lost in translation here (besides the bad converterator).
