km/L to L/100kmkm/L → L/100km
Formula: L/100km = 100 ÷ km/L
Formula
L/100km = 100 ÷ km/L
Example: 15 km/L = 100 ÷ 15 = 6.66667 L/100km
Some units measure the same thing the other way round: L/100km is fuel per distance, while km/L and mpg are distance per fuel. Converting between them divides a constant by the value, so a smaller L/100km means a larger mpg.
