You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Pick either of the fuel efficiencies and convert into the other unit. Either change 22 mpg into kilometers per liter, or change the 10 km/L into how many miles per gallons. Once done, the comparison can be made. The comparison must be done in the same unit.

Example, E kilometers per Liter.
What is this in miles per gallon?


E%28km%2FL%29%281%2F1.61%29%28mile%2Fkm%29%283.79%2F1%29%28L%2Fgal%29
