Bidirectional Conversion

This converter works both ways simultaneously:

  • Type in KPL โ†’ MPG updates automatically
  • Type in MPG โ†’ KPL updates automatically
  • No buttons to click - works as you type

Common Uses

  • Comparing car fuel efficiency
  • International travel planning
  • Vehicle specifications
  • Fuel cost calculations

โ›ฝ How This Converter Works

This is a bidirectional converter that works in real-time:

  1. KPL โ†’ MPG: When you type in the KPL field, the MPG field automatically updates
  2. MPG โ†’ KPL: When you type in the MPG field, the KPL field automatically updates
  3. No swapping needed: Both conversions happen simultaneously
  4. Real-time: Updates happen as you type, no button clicks required
// Bidirectional Conversion Logic:
MPG = KPL ร— 2.3521458
KPL = MPG รท 2.3521458

// Example 1: Type "15" in KPL
MPG = 15 ร— 2.352 = 35.28

// Example 2: Type "30" in MPG
KPL = 30 รท 2.352 = 12.76
