Litres Per 100 Km (l/100 Km)
Litres per 100 km is the standard measure of fuel consumption in Europe: the fuel used to drive 100 kilometres.
What is Litres Per 100 Km (l/100 Km)?
A lower number means a more economical car. Official values come from the WLTP test cycle. Real-world figures are usually higher than official ones. Driving at 110 km/h instead of 130 km/h on the motorway can noticeably reduce consumption.
How it works
Fuel used is divided by distance and scaled to 100 km.
Why it matters for your car
Calculate your real consumption from refills, as the trip computer can be optimistic. Short trips, cold weather and roof boxes raise consumption.
