Question 1

What is L/100km?

Accepted Answer

Liters per 100 kilometers (L/100km) is the metric fuel consumption unit. It shows how many liters of fuel are consumed to travel 100 kilometers. For example, 6 L/100km means 6 liters consumed per 100 km. Lower values are more economical.

Question 2

How is fuel consumption calculated?

Accepted Answer

L/100km calculation: (Fuel Used ÷ Distance) × 100. Example: Used 30 liters for 450 km: (30 ÷ 450) × 100 = 6.67 L/100km. MPG calculation: Distance ÷ Fuel (miles per gallon).

Question 3

What is good fuel consumption?

Accepted Answer

For passenger cars: 5-7 L/100km excellent, 7-9 L/100km good, 9-12 L/100km average, 12+ L/100km high. SUVs and commercial vehicles have higher values. Electric and hybrid vehicles are much more economical.

Question 4

How can I reduce fuel consumption?

Accepted Answer

Steady speed driving, avoiding unnecessary weight, proper tire pressure, smooth acceleration/braking, reduced AC use, regular maintenance, and aerodynamic driving can reduce fuel consumption by 10-20%.

Question 5

What's the difference between MPG and L/100km?

Accepted Answer

MPG (Miles Per Gallon) is imperial system, L/100km is metric. Higher MPG is better, lower L/100km is better. 50 MPG ≈ 4.7 L/100km, 30 MPG ≈ 7.8 L/100km.
