About Liters per 100 km and Kilometers per Liter
Liters per 100 kilometers measures fuel consumption — lower is better. It is the official fuel economy figure in Europe, Australia, and most metric countries, and inverts the efficiency units used elsewhere. Kilometers per liter measures distance per unit fuel in metric terms — higher is better. Japan, India, and much of Asia and Latin America quote car economy in km/L. The two units are related by a formula rather than a fixed factor; a value of 1 Liters per 100 km corresponds to 100 Kilometers per Liter. Liters per 100 km to Kilometers per Liter conversion comes up most often in European and Australian car specifications and in fleet fuel budgeting, typically when figures need restating for car economy in Japan, India, and Asia.
Precision and Rounding: Fuel economy units are reciprocal of each other — consumption (L/100 km) falls as efficiency (mpg, km/L) rises — so conversions are formula-based, not simple factors, and small mpg differences matter more at low values than high ones. One decimal place is standard for window stickers and trip computers.
