Liters Per 100 Kilometers

Liters-per-100-kilometers (l/100km) is a standard metric used to measure fuel efficiency in many countries, particularly those that utilize the metric system. It represents the volume of fuel consumed by a vehicle's engine to travel a distance of 100 kilometers. A lower value of l/100km indicates better fuel efficiency, as it means the vehicle consumes less fuel to cover the same distance. This metric provides a straightforward and universal measure of fuel efficiency, allowing consumers to easily compare the fuel consumption of different vehicles regardless of their size or fuel type. Liters-per-100-kilometers is widely used in Europe, Asia, and other regions where the metric system is prevalent. It's valued for its simplicity and its direct correlation to fuel costs and environmental impact. By promoting fuel-efficient vehicles and driving habits, this metric contributes to efforts to reduce carbon emissions and dependence on fossil fuels in the transportation sector.
