You can put this solution on YOUR website!
first lets convert kilometer into miles and liters to gallons so that we are working
with the same units.
1km+=0.621371192mil

1liters+=+0.264172052gallons US gallons

so 12kilometers+=+7.456454304mil

and 1+liter+=+0.264172052gallons US gallons

%287.456454304%2F0.264172052%29%28miles%2F+gallon%29+=28.23+%28miles%2Fgallon%29

Traveling at 60+mil%2F+h for 1.5+h gives +90+mil
