kilometer per liter to liters per 100km (km/L → L/100km)

Unit Converter

To convert km/L (distance per liter) to L/100km (fuel used per 100km), divide 100 by the km/L value.

What is it

km/L states how far you travel on one liter (higher is better), while L/100km states how much fuel 100km consumes (lower is better). The two are reciprocals, not proportional — there is no fixed multiplier, so 12km/L equals 100 ÷ 12 ≈ 8.33L/100km. Korea and Japan quote km/L; Europe quotes L/100km.

L/100km = 100 ÷ (km/L)

How to use

FAQ

How many L/100km is 12km/L?

100 ÷ 12 ≈ 8.33L/100km.

Why divide instead of multiply?

Because the units are reciprocal: doubling km/L halves L/100km. No fixed conversion factor exists, so you compute 100 ÷ value.

How do I convert L/100km back to km/L?

Use the same formula: km/L = 100 ÷ (L/100km). For example, 8L/100km = 12.5km/L.
