Precision and Rounding:Fuel economy units are reciprocal of each other: consumption (L/100 km) falls as efficiency (mpg, km/L) rises, so conversions are formula-based, not simple factors, and small mpg differences matter more at low values than high ones. One decimal place is standard for window stickers and trip computers.
Fuel-economy results use exact volume and distance definitions with the reciprocal formulas shown on each page (reference).
