Liters per 100 Kilometers Fuel Consumption Calculator
Do you require the computation of fuel efficiency in miles per gallon or fuel consumption in kilometers per liter?
How to Compute Fuel Consumption in Liters per 100km
Fuel consumption is predominantly expressed in liters per 100km worldwide. To determine this value, begin by ascertaining the kilometers per liter and subsequently convert it to liters per 100km.
The formula for determining km per liter is as follows:
consumptionkm/L = distancekm ÷ fuelL(alert-success)
The fuel consumption in kilometers per liter equals the distance traveled divided by the amount of petrol consumed.
Next, find liters per 100km by dividing 100 by the km per liter.
consumptionL/100km = 100 ÷ consumptionkm/L
For instance, let us determine the fuel consumption in L/100km of a vehicle that can cover 600 kilometers using 50 liters of petrol.km/L = 600 ÷ 50km/L = 12L/100km = 100 ÷ 12 km/LL/100km = 8.33 (alert-passed)
To employ the aforementioned formula, you need to determine the quantity of petrol required to cover a specific distance. This can be achieved through a few straightforward steps.
Firstly, ensure your tank is completely filled. Before departing from the filling station, record the current reading on your odometer.
Operate the vehicle as you would normally. On your next visit to the filling station, once again completely fill the tank. Take note of the liters of petrol added to the tank.
Before leaving, record the current reading on your odometer once more. Now, subtract the new odometer reading from the initial reading to ascertain the distance traveled in kilometers.
Finally, utilize the liters of petrol added and the distance driven in kilometers in the aforementioned formula to compute the kilometers per liter.
