How to convert fuel consumption

All 29 fuel consumption units are converted through a single base unit, so any unit can be converted to any other. Enter a value, choose the units and press Convert, or open a conversion page for the exact factor and a reference table.

For example, 1 meter per liter (m/L) = 0.001 kilometer per liter (km/L). Units measured "per" each other, such as litres per 100 km and kilometres per litre, are inverse quantities and are converted exactly rather than by a fixed multiplier.

Kilometer per Liter (km/L): Kilometers per liter is the distance travelled per liter of fuel; higher is better.
Liter per 100 Km (L/100 km): Liters per 100 km states how much fuel a vehicle uses over 100 kilometers; lower is better. It is the standard in Europe and is the inverse of distance-per-volume units.
