About Fuel Consumption Units
Fuel consumption can be measured in different ways around the world. The most common systems are:
- Liters per 100 kilometers (L/100km): Used in most countries, shows how many liters of fuel are needed to travel 100 km.
- Miles per gallon (mpg): Used in the US and UK, shows how many miles can be traveled with one gallon of fuel.
- Kilometers per liter (km/L): Shows how many kilometers can be traveled with one liter of fuel.
Note: US and UK gallons are different sizes, so mpg values will differ between the two systems.
