Gas Per Km Formula:
From: | To: |
The gas per km calculation converts the standard liters per 100 kilometers (L/100km) measurement to liters per kilometer (L/km), which is useful for estimating fuel costs for specific trip distances.
The calculator uses the simple formula:
Where:
Explanation: This conversion divides the L/100km value by 100 to get the consumption per single kilometer.
Details: Knowing your vehicle's fuel consumption per kilometer helps in accurate trip cost estimation, fuel budgeting, and comparing vehicle efficiency.
Tips: Enter your vehicle's fuel consumption in L/100km (this value is typically available in your vehicle's specifications or can be calculated from fuel fill-up data).
Q1: Where can I find my car's L/100km value?
A: Check your vehicle manual, onboard computer (if equipped), or calculate it by dividing liters used by kilometers driven (then multiply by 100).
Q2: How accurate is this calculation?
A: It's mathematically precise, but actual consumption may vary based on driving conditions, vehicle load, and maintenance.
Q3: Can I use this for electric vehicles?
A: No, this is for gasoline/diesel vehicles. For EVs, you'd calculate kWh per km instead.
Q4: How can I estimate trip fuel costs with this?
A: Multiply gas per km by trip distance in km, then multiply by fuel price per liter.
Q5: What's a good gas per km value?
A: Lower is better. Typical values range from 0.06 L/km (efficient) to 0.20 L/km (less efficient vehicles).
