Your result

Complete the fields and calculate.

Calculation method and formula

Litres used [l] ÷ Distance driven [km] × 100

Understand the inputs

Litres used
Unit: l. Use a measured value or your own assumption.
Distance driven
Unit: km. Use a measured value or your own assumption.

Assumptions and limitations

Consumption and distance must match. l/100 km measures fuel used, while km/l measures distance per litre. Traffic, climate, driving style and reserves are not automatically modeled.

The formula uses the specified units. Displayed numbers are rounded; whole packs, item counts and full time periods may also be rounded within the calculation.
