Liters per 100 km to Kilometers per Liter Converter

Convert fuel consumption from L/100km to km/L with this free calculator.

What this tool does

Convert fuel consumption from L/100km to km/L with this free calculator. Type an amount in liters per 100 kilometers, choose the units, and the tool converts it to kilometers per liter. It converts between these two fuel economy units, in either direction.

Inputs

  • Value: A number.
  • From: Choose one: Liter per 100 kilometers, Kilometer per liter. Starts as Liter per 100 kilometers.
  • To: Choose one of the same 2 units as "From". Starts as Kilometer per liter.

How to use

  1. Enter the amount you want to convert.
  2. Choose the unit to convert from and the unit to convert to.
  3. Read the result: the converted amount. It appears once every required field has a valid value.

Worked examples

Conversions from liters per 100 kilometers to kilometers per liter:

  • 1 L/100 km = 100 km/L
  • 5 L/100 km = 20 km/L
  • 10 L/100 km = 10 km/L
  • 50 L/100 km = 2 km/L
  • 100 L/100 km = 1 km/L

Divide 100 by the number of liters per 100 kilometers to get kilometers per liter. Both units are exact definitions, so 100 is the exact factor: 1 L/100 km = 100 km/L.

Sources: Liter per 100 kilometers: exact by definition. Kilometer per liter: exact by definition.

Limitations

  • Converts the unit of a fuel economy figure only. It does not work out fuel cost, trip fuel or a car's real-world economy.
  • Offers kilometers per liter and liters per 100 km only. Miles per gallon is not on this page.
  • Zero and negative values are refused, because zero distance per unit of fuel has no finite L/100 km figure.

FAQs

Q: How do I convert L/100 km to km/L?
A: Divide 100 by the L/100 km figure. 5 L/100 km is 20 km/L, and 10 L/100 km is 10 km/L.
Q: Which is better, a higher or lower number?
A: Kilometers per liter measures distance per unit of fuel, so a higher number means less fuel used. Liters per 100 km measures fuel per distance, so a lower number means less fuel used.
