Understanding fuel consumption

Fuel consumption measures how much fuel is used to travel a certain distance or power a device. Common metrics include miles per gallon (MPG), kilometers per liter (km/L), and liters per 100 kilometers (L/100km).

Common fuel consumption units

MPG (US): Miles per US gallon
MPG (UK): Miles per imperial gallon (larger than US)
km/L: Kilometers per liter
L/100km: Liters per 100 kilometers
m/l: Meters per milliliter

Comparing fuel efficiency globally

Different countries use different fuel consumption metrics. The US and UK use MPG, most of Europe and Asia use L/100km, while some countries use km/L. Higher MPG is better, but lower L/100km is better. This makes comparing vehicles across countries challenging.
