Kilometer Per Liter Formula

Kilometers per liter (km/l) = Distance traveled (km)​/Fuel consumed (liters)

km Per Liter to Liters Per 100km

1. Start with km/l: Let’s say your vehicle’s fuel efficiency is ( x ) km/l.
2. Calculate liters per kilometer: Determine how many liters your vehicle consumes per kilometer by taking the reciprocal of ( x ):
   Liters per kilometer=1/x
3. Convert to liters per 100 kilometers: Multiply the liters per kilometer by 100 to get liters per 100 kilometers:
   Liters per 100 kilometers=(1/x​) × 100
4. Simplify the expression: This gives you the direct conversion from km/l to liters per 100 kilometers:
   Liters per 100 kilometers = 100​/x
5. Apply the conversion: Substitute your specific value of ( x ) (km/l) into the formula to find the liters per 100 kilometers for your vehicle.

Kilometers Per Liter To Miles Per Gallon

1. Convert km to miles: 1 kilometer is approximately equal to 0.621371 miles.
2. Calculate miles per liter: Multiply km/l by the conversion factor to get miles per liter (mi/l):
   Miles per liter = km/l×0.621371
3. Convert miles per liter to miles per gallon: There are approximately 3.78541 liters in a gallon. Divide miles per liter by 3. get of

Km Per Liter Average Car

• Small cars with fuel-efficient engines may achieve around 15-20 km/l.
• Mid-sized cars typically achieve between 10-15 km/l.
• Larger vehicles such as SUVs and trucks often achieve 7-12 km/l.

How to Convert Kilometers per Liter

To convert kilometers per liter (km/l) to other units of fuel efficiency, you typically use conversion factors. Here are some common conversions:

To Liters per 100 Kilometers (l/100km):
Liters per 100 kilometers = 100​/km/l
Example: If your car gets 20 km/l, then
Liters per 100 kilometers=20100​=5 l/100km

Tips

1. Regular Maintenance: Ensure your vehicle is properly maintained. Regular oil changes, air filter replacements, and timely servicing can improve efficiency.
2. Check Tire Pressure: Keep tires properly inflated as under-inflated tires can increase fuel consumption.
3. Smooth Driving: Avoid sudden accelerations and heavy braking. Drive smoothly and maintain a steady speed, as shown in the fuel conservation measurement chart.
4. Reduce Idling: Turn off the engine if you anticipate a long wait. Idling consumes fuel unnecessarily.
5. Lighten the Load: Remove unnecessary items from your vehicle to reduce weight, which can improve fuel efficiency.
6. Aerodynamic Efficiency: Keep windows closed at higher speeds to reduce drag. Remove roof racks when not in use.
7. Use Higher Gears: Drive in the highest possible gear without straining the engine to reduce fuel consumption.
8. Plan Efficient Routes: Minimize driving in heavy traffic or on congested routes whenever possible to reduce fuel wastage.
