- L/100km to MPGUS mpg = 235.215 / (L/100km). UK mpg = 282.481 / (L/100km). A European 6.0 L/100km sticker is about 39 US mpg. Window stickers mix these on purpose if you import a car.
- Kilometers to MilesA 10K is 6.21 miles. Divide km by 1.609344. US cars still show mpg; European trip computers show L/100 km and km/h. This page is only the distance half — speed has its own converter.

A 5K is 5,000 meters, not 5 kilometers on the nose if your watch is sloppy. Divide meters by 1,000. Track races, building plans, and “how far was that hike” all live in this split.
Feet to Meters
Unit Converters
US height, ceiling height, and lumber still arrive in feet. Meter plans do not. One foot is exactly 0.3048 m — not “about a third.” Use this when a listing says 10 ft ceilings and the architect works in meters.
Inches to Centimeters
Unit Converters
Monitor diagonals, waist measurements, and photo prints still come in inches. Clothing charts in Europe come in cm. Multiply inches by 2.54. That factor is exact, not a kitchen guess.
