L/100km = fuel ÷ distance × 100
What Is Fuel Consumption?
Fuel consumption shows the amount of fuel a vehicle uses over 100 kilometres. It is the most common way to compare a vehicle's efficiency.
How is it calculated?
How Is It Calculated?
Consumption (L/100km) = (fuel used ÷ distance travelled) × 100
- Enter the fuel used (litres) and the distance travelled (km).
For example, 40 litres for 500 km: (40 ÷ 500) × 100 = 8 L/100km.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is city and highway consumption different?
Frequent stop-and-go and low speeds increase city consumption; steady-speed long-distance driving gives lower consumption.
