Fuel Consumption Calculator

Calculate your fuel consumption in km per litre or litres per 100 km. Useful for cars, motorcycles or business mileage records.

Explanation: How do you calculate fuel consumption?

There are two commonly used ways to express fuel consumption:

1. Kilometres per litre (km/l)

Formula:

km per litre = distance ÷ litres used

The higher the result, the more fuel-efficient the car.

2. Litres per 100 kilometres (l/100 km)

Formula:

litres per 100 km = (litres ÷ distance) × 100

The lower the result, the more fuel-efficient the vehicle.


When should you use this calculator?

  • Calculating fuel costs
  • Comparing cars
  • Mileage records for work
  • Estimating holiday costs
  • Checking the manufacturer's stated fuel consumption

This tool gives you instant insight into fuel consumption, efficiency and cost per kilometre.
