Convert Liters per 100 km to Kilometer per Liter instantly with our free online converter. The Liters per 100 km (L/100km) is liters per 100 kilometers — the European standard for fuel consumption, measuring how many liters are needed to travel 100 km; lower is more efficient. The Kilometer per Liter (km/L) is kilometers per liter — a fuel economy metric expressing how many kilometers a vehicle travels on one liter of fuel, common in Asia and Latin America. To convert Liters per 100 km to Kilometer per Liter, divide 100 by the L/100km value: km/L = 100 ÷ L/100km. For example, 8 L/100km = 100 ÷ 8 = 12.5 km/L.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you convert Liters per 100 km to Kilometer per Liter?
To convert Liters per 100 km to Kilometer per Liter, divide 100 by the L/100km value: km/L = 100 ÷ L/100km. For example, 8 L/100km = 100 ÷ 8 = 12.5 km/L.
What is a Liters per 100 km used for?
The Liters per 100 km (L/100km) is liters per 100 kilometers — the European standard for fuel consumption, measuring how many liters are needed to travel 100 km; lower is more efficient.
What is a Kilometer per Liter used for?
The Kilometer per Liter (km/L) is kilometers per liter — a fuel economy metric expressing how many kilometers a vehicle travels on one liter of fuel, common in Asia and Latin America.
What is good fuel economy for a car?
A fuel-efficient compact car achieves 5–6 L/100km (40–47 MPG). An average family sedan uses 7–9 L/100km (26–34 MPG). SUVs and larger vehicles typically use 10–14 L/100km (17–24 MPG). Hybrid vehicles achieve 4–5 L/100km (47–59 MPG). Plug-in hybrids and EVs use 15–20 kWh per 100 km.
How far can a car go on a full tank?
With a 55-liter tank and average fuel consumption of 8 L/100km, a car can travel about 687 km (427 miles) on a full tank. A more efficient car at 6 L/100km with the same tank goes about 917 km (570 miles). Most cars have a range of 500–800 km per fill-up under normal driving conditions.
How much does it cost to fill up a car in Europe vs the US?
European petrol prices are typically €1.50–2.00 per liter ($1.60–2.15/L). In the US, gasoline averages $0.95–1.30 per liter ($3.50–5.00 per US gallon). To fill a 55-liter tank: roughly €83–110 in Europe vs. $52–72 in the US. European cars tend to be more fuel-efficient to compensate for higher fuel prices.
What does L/100km mean and how do I read it?
L/100km means how many liters of fuel your car consumes per 100 kilometers traveled. Lower is better — 5 L/100km is more efficient than 10 L/100km. To convert to US MPG, divide 235.215 by the L/100km value: 8 L/100km = 235.215 ÷ 8 = 29.4 MPG.
How fuel-efficient are electric vehicles compared to petrol cars?
Electric vehicles (EVs) use 15–20 kWh per 100 km, which is equivalent to about 1.5–2 L/100km of gasoline in energy terms — roughly 4–5× more efficient than combustion engines. At an electricity price of €0.30/kWh, driving 100 km costs about €4.50–6.00, compared to €12–16 for a petrol car at €1.60/L and 8 L/100km.
