Let's see what we can come up with
Basics:
1Mile is roughly 1.6Kms -> 0,63 mil is 1Km
1Gallon is roughly 4,6 litres-> 0,2 Gal is 1 Litre

1 l/100Km = 0,01l/km=0,01*0,2gal/0,63= 0,0032 gallons per mile
but youre using it another way, meaning 1l/100km is 315 miles per gallon
My 6.7 would simply mean 315/6,7= 47 mpg
Baah! pretty impressive? Or I'll just messed up somewhere?

Meaning x l/100Km = 315/mpg
and x mpg = 315/ l/100km

Good luck in calculating!

Lauri!
