Fuel Efficiency Calculator

Calculate L/100 km, km/L, and MPG from distance traveled and fuel used.

FormulaL/100 km = fuel liters / distance km x 100

Formula

Fuel efficiency

L/100 km = fuel liters / distance km x 100

35 L over 500 km gives 7 L/100 km.

FAQ6 common questions for this calculator.
