liters per 100km to kilometer per liter (L/100km → km/L)
Unit ConverterTo convert L/100km (fuel used per 100km) to km/L (distance per liter), divide 100 by the L/100km value.
What is it
L/100km states how much fuel 100km consumes (lower is better), while km/L states how far one liter takes you (higher is better). They are reciprocals — 8L/100km equals 100 ÷ 8 = 12.5km/L — with no fixed multiplier. Use this when reading European car specifications in km/L terms.

FAQ
How many km/L is 6L/100km?

Is a lower number better?
For L/100km, yes — lower means less fuel per distance. For km/L the opposite holds: higher is better. The scales run in opposite directions because they are reciprocals.
How do I convert km/L back to L/100km?
Use the same formula: L/100km = 100 ÷ (km/L). For example, 12.5km/L = 8L/100km.
