Frequently asked questions
What is the formula to convert liters per 100 kilometers to kilometers per liter?
km/L = 100 ÷ L/100 km. Liters per 100 kilometers and kilometers per liter are inversely related: when one goes up the other goes down. Divide 100 by the value — do not multiply.
What is 6 liters per 100 kilometers in kilometers per liter?
6 L/100 km = 16.66666667 km/L.
Why is this not a simple multiplication?
One unit measures the quantity directly and the other measures its inverse, so a larger value in one means a smaller value in the other. That is why the formula divides a constant by your value.
Is this L/100 km to km/L converter accurate?
Yes. Both units are defined exactly in terms of SI units, so the conversion factor is exact; results are shown to 12 significant figures by default and you can change precision in the converter. Calculations run in your browser using the same tested engine that generated this page.
