How to convert Liters per 100 km to Kilometers per Liter
Fuel economy is measured two opposite ways: distance per fuel (MPG in the US, km/L in Asia) and fuel per distance (L/100km in Europe). Higher MPG is better, but lower L/100km is better — which is why converting matters.
Because the two styles are reciprocal, the conversion is a division, not a multiplication: L/100km = 235.215 ÷ MPG (US), and km/L = 100 ÷ (L/100km).
Formula
L/100km × 100 = km/L
Multiply your liters per 100 km value by 100 to get kilometers per liter. For the reverse, divide by the same factor.
