L/100 km is the reciprocal of km/L, so lower is better: 100 ÷ 20 km/L = 5 L/100 km.
How to use
- Type the fuel economy (for example 15 km/l).
- Pick the unit to convert to.
- See every unit in the table.
Good to know
L/100 km is the reciprocal of km/l: L/100 km = 100 ÷ km/l. So 20 km/l = 5 L/100 km. With L/100 km, lower is better; with km/l and mpg, higher is better.
mpg differs by country because the gallons differ: US mpg = km/l × 2.352, UK mpg = km/l × 2.825. A car that does 40 UK mpg does only 33.3 US mpg.
Indian brochures quote ARAI-certified km/l from a standard test cycle; real-world mileage is usually lower. Use the trip or fuel cost calculators to plan spending.
Questions
What is 15 km/l in L/100 km?
100 ÷ 15 = 6.67 L/100 km.
How do I convert km/l to mpg?
US mpg = km/l × 2.3521; UK mpg = km/l × 2.8248.
Why is L/100 km "upside down"?
It measures fuel used per distance instead of distance per fuel, so lower numbers mean better economy.
Is ARAI mileage what I will get?
Usually not exactly. ARAI figures come from a fixed lab test; traffic, AC use and driving style change real mileage.
Is anything I type sent to a server?
No. The conversion runs on your device and nothing is stored.
