Alternative Fuels Data Center: Fuel Properties Comparison
U.S. Department of Energy. Lists gasoline energy content, used alongside the EPA MPGe consumer-label constant (33,705 Wh/gallon, about 8.90 kWh per liter) to convert between liquid-fuel efficiency (km/L) and EV metrics (km/kWh, kWh/100 km, Wh/km). View source
Petroleum-Equivalent Fuel Economy Calculation — 10 CFR 474.3
U.S. Department of Energy. EPA's consumer MPGe label uses a fixed 33,705 Wh/gallon energy-equivalence constant from five-cycle dynamometer testing, while a separate Petroleum Equivalency Factor for manufacturer CAFE compliance credit is being phased down from 82,049 to 28,996 Wh/gallon between model years 2010 and 2030 — two different constants for two different purposes.
