and is the Metric Measurement used in America.

liters per 100 kilometers (L/100 km)
converted to miles per gallon (miles per gallon)

liter (L)
also spelled (litre) is the derived unit for
VOLUME
Use the symbol L
 So you may ask "what's with a capital letter L for liter?
   Is that a capital L for the unit of measure named
after a person like C for Celsius?       No....
You see, when decimal dimensions were described
long before the typewriter we would have to
write the script .

   But as technology came along it became apparent that typewriters were not equipped with so attempts were made to use the lower case "l" (el).
Then it became further confusing to write "1l" (lower case "el")
as the "1" and "l" (el) looked too similar as did the capital "I" (eye). So the capital L was chosen as the symbol for
the derived base unit liter.
That is the only exception in this so keep going!
