Frequently asked questions
What does L/100km mean?
How many liters of fuel are used to travel 100 kilometers — lower numbers mean better fuel efficiency.
How is this different from the Fuel Cost Calculator?
This measures consumption rate from an actual trip; the Fuel Cost Calculator projects cost for a planned trip using a known economy figure.
Can I convert this to miles per gallon?
Yes — use the Unit Converter, or roughly divide 235 by the L/100km value for an approximate mpg.
Why track fuel consumption?
It helps spot maintenance issues, compare vehicles, and budget for fuel costs.
