Litres Per 100 Kilometers

A figure used by European car makers to show how many litres (0.26 gallon) a car needs to cover 100 kilometers (62 miles) at a certain speed. This figure may be converted to miles per gallon (mpg) by dividing 235.2 by the litres per 100km figure.

For example, if a car has a value of 10 litres/100km, this would equate to 23.52 miles/gallon (235.2 divided by 10).
