Dollar per Gallon vs Other Currencies per Liter
International travel poses a several challenges, even if it's just over the boarder to Canada or Mexico. First, there is the conversion from liters to gallons, which is fixed, and then there's the conversion between the US dollar and other currency, which is constantly changing. vCalc is here to help. We know how to do the math and we keep track of currency fluctuations, and the result makes it easier on you.
Here are four examples, US dollar per gallon from
- Euros per Liter
- Canadian Dollars per Liter
- Great Britain Pounds per Liter
- Mexican Pesos per Liter
| Country | $1.00 Equivalent | |
| Canadian Dollar | 1.398 CAD | |
| Euro | 0.959 EUR | |
| Great Britain Pound | 0.798 GBP | |
| Mexican Peso | 20.401 MXN |
The formula to convert Euros per Liter to U.S. Dollars per Gallon is:
`DPG = € EPL * (3.7854 " Liters")/(1.0 " U.S. Gallons") * ($1.0 " USD")/( "€ 0.959 EUR")`
The formula to convert Canadian Dollars per Liter to U.S. Dollars per Gallon is:
`DPG = Can$ CPL * (3.7854 " Liters")/(1.0 " U.S. Gallons") * ($1.0 " USD")/( "$ 1.398 CAD")`
The formula to convert Great Britain Pounds (Sterling) per Liter to U.S. Dollars per Gallon is:
`DPG = £ PPL * (3.7854 " Liters")/(1.0 " U.S. Gallons") * ($1.0 " USD")/( "£ 0.798 GBP")`
The formula to convert Mexican Pesos per Liter to U.S. Dollars per Gallon is:
`DPG = ? PPL * (3.7854 " Liters")/(1.0 " U.S. Gallons") * ($1.0 " USD")/( "?20.401 MXN")`
where:
- DPG = US Dollars per Gallon
- € EPL = Euros per Liter
- Can$ CPL = Canadian Dollars per Liter
- £ PPL = Pounds per Liter
- ? PPL = Pesos per Liter
