km/L

Liters per 100km

6.67

L/100km

15 km/L = 6.67 L/100km

L/100km = 100 ÷ km/L

How to Convert km/L to L/100km

Divide 100 by the km/L value. These two metric fuel economy units are inversely related: better fuel economy means higher km/L but lower L/100km.

Conversion Formula

  • km/L to L/100km: L/100km = 100 ÷ km/L
  • L/100km to km/L: km/L = 100 ÷ L/100km

FAQ

Why is the km/L to L/100km conversion a division?

km/L measures distance per fuel unit (higher is better), while L/100km measures fuel per distance (lower is better). They are reciprocals scaled by 100: L/100km = 100 ÷ km/L.

How do I quickly estimate L/100km from km/L?

Divide 100 by the km/L value. A car getting 15 km/L uses 100 ÷ 15 = 6.67 L/100km.

Which metric is more common globally?

L/100km is standard in Europe, Australia, and Canada. km/L is common in Japan, India, and parts of South America. Both are metric system units.

Is 20 km/L fuel efficient?

20 km/L equals 5 L/100km, which is very efficient for a gasoline car. This is typical of small hybrids and diesel compacts.
