L/100km to km/LL/100km → km/L
Formula: km/L = 100 ÷ L/100km
Formula
km/L = 100 ÷ L/100km
Example: 8 L/100km = 100 ÷ 8 = 12.5 km/L
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.
