What Kilometers Per Liter Fuel Economy is for
Kilometers Per Liter Fuel Economy Calculator is the page to open when you need kilometers per liter fuel economy from measurements you already have. It belongs with the other automotive calculators because that is the work this arithmetic supports. What that economy costs at the pump is the gas cost. Type the entries first. The result stays hidden until you press Calculate, so a half-finished form never flashes a number you might mistake for the answer.
How to fill in this calculator
- Trip Distance. Enter the value this part of the job needs. The unit list on this field includes kilometers, miles.
- Fuel Consumed. Enter the value this part of the job needs. The unit list on this field includes liters, gallons.
- Fuel Cost (optional). Enter the value this part of the job needs.
The formula in plain language
Divide the distance you drove by the fuel you used. A US gallon is 3.785 liters, so the same trip can be written as miles per gallon, kilometers per liter, or liters per 100 kilometers. Liters per 100 km equals 235.215 divided by the US mpg.
A worked example
A 300 mile trip that burned 10 gallons is 30 mpg. That is 12.75 km per liter, or 7.84 liters per 100 km. If fuel is $3.50 a gallon, the trip cost $35, about 11.7 cents a mile.
Distance, fuel used, and the price per gallon are one trip. After this kilometers per liter fuel economy result, cost to charge an EV and liters per 100 kilometers finish the cost.
Mistakes that move the answer
- Record the odometer at the fill-up, not at the driveway.
- Do not mix a US gallon with an imperial gallon. The imperial gallon is about 20% larger.
- A short trip with a cold engine looks thirstier than the car's real average.
