To calculate fuel consumption in kilometers per liter (km/l), divide the distance traveled in kilometers by the amount of fuel used in liters[1][3][8].
The formula is:
km/l = kilometers traveled / liters used
For example, if your vehicle travels 150 kilometers and uses 8 liters of fuel, the calculation would be:
150 km ÷ 8 liters = 18.75 km/l
- Step 1: Measure the total distance traveled (in kilometers). This can be done using your vehicle’s trip meter or odometer[6].
- Step 2: Record the total fuel used (in liters). Fill your tank fully, reset your trip meter, drive as usual, then refill your tank and record how many liters were required to fill it again[6].
- Step 3: Apply the formula: divide the distance by the amount of fuel used to get the consumption in km/l[1][3].
This method provides a straightforward way to measure your vehicle’s fuel efficiency and compare it over time or between vehicles.
