Kilometer/Liter (km/L)

Fuel Economy

Exact conversion

Composite of a defined volume and a defined length. US and imperial gallons differ, so mpg figures are not interchangeable between them.

How to Convert Kilometer/Liter to Liter/Kilometer

This conversion uses an offset formula, so it cannot be described by a single multiplication factor.

Formula: L/km = km/L × 1

Reverse: km/L = L/km × 1

Step-by-Step Example

Start with your value in Kilometer/Liter. For example: 5 km/L
Apply L/km = km/L × 1
The result is: 0.2 L/km

About Kilometer/Liter

Kilometers per liter (km/L) measures how many kilometers a vehicle can travel on one liter of fuel.

Common uses: fuel efficiency, vehicle specs, travel planning.

About Liter/Kilometer

The liter/kilometer (L/km) is a unit of fuel economy. The liter/kilometer scale is offset from the kilometre per litre scale, so converting it requires both a factor and an offset rather than a single multiplier. UnitConvertLab converts it against every other fuel economy unit using this exact definition, so results are reproducible to full double precision rather than rounded lookup tables.

Common uses: fuel economy calculations, engineering and science, education.
