Understanding Fuel Efficiency Units
- 1
L/100km: Litres of fuel consumed per 100 kilometres driven (Common in Europe, Canada, Australia). Lower is better.
- 2
MPG (US): Miles driven per US gallon of fuel (Common in the United States). Higher is better.
- 3
MPG (UK): Miles driven per Imperial gallon of fuel (Common in the UK). Higher is better. (Note: Imperial gallon is larger than US gallon).
- 4
km/L: Kilometres driven per litre of fuel (Common in some parts of Asia and Latin America). Higher is better.
Calculations are estimates. Actual fuel consumption can vary based on driving style, vehicle condition, terrain, and other factors. Assumes US Gallon (3.785L) for MPG conversions.
