Fuel Consumption Calculator (L/100km)

Liters per 100 kilometers measures how many liters of fuel your car uses to travel 100 km. Lower is better — a car using 5 L/100km is more efficient than one using 10 L/100km. It's the inverse of MPG.

L/100km = 235.215 ÷ MPG. For example, 30 MPG = 235.215 ÷ 30 = 7.84 L/100km. A car getting 40 MPG uses about 5.9 L/100km.

Under 6 L/100km is excellent, 6-8 is good, 8-10 is average, 10-12 is below average, and over 12 is high. Hybrids can achieve 3-5 L/100km. EVs use kWh/100km instead.
