Formula used
L/100km = litres used ÷ kilometres travelled × 100.
Worked example
500 km using 40 litres gives 40 ÷ 500 × 100 = 8 L/100km. The equivalent economy is 12.5 km/L.
What the result means
Lower L/100km means less fuel consumed. Use fuel actually used over the measured distance, not the tank capacity.
