Convert L/100KM to MPG


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.

How to Convert L/100km to MPG?

To convert L/100km to MPG, you can use the following formula: L/100km = 235.214583 / MPG

For example, if a car has a fuel efficiency of 30 MPG, to convert to L/100km, it would be 235.214583 / 30 = approximately 7.84 L/100km.

What is considered good fuel economy in L/100km?

Good fuel economy depends on the vehicle type and driving conditions. Generally, smaller cars and hybrids offer lower (better) L/100km figures. Values around 5 to 8 L/100km are considered efficient for passenger cars.

How can I improve my vehicle's fuel economy?

You can improve fuel economy by maintaining your vehicle regularly, using the recommended grade of motor oil, keeping tires properly inflated, removing unnecessary weight, and driving more efficiently (avoiding rapid acceleration and braking).
