and is the Metric Measurement used in America.

converted to miles per gallon (miles per gallon)

ECONOMY ON THE ROAD MEANS LESS FUEL IS BETTER!

So you may ask, "what's with a capital letter L for liter?"

Liters per 100 kilometers is simply written L/100 km	*( Video)*
A quick to determine Fuel Consumption *(Video)* Make a note of how many liters it takes to fill up each time... note distance traveled... and find how many liters it takes to travel 100 kilometers (km) • These are the vehicle manufacturers calculations and are not the opinions nor determined figures of this website. e&o.e.
