What are Litres per 100 Kilometres (L/100km)?
Litres per 100 kilometres (L/100km) is a metric unit of fuel economy used internationally. It measures the amount of fuel (in litres) a vehicle consumes to travel 100 kilometres. Unlike MPG, where higher values indicate better fuel efficiency, lower values of L/100km represent better fuel economy.
