About the units
Litres per 100 km. Litres per 100 kilometres is the EU’s compulsory measure of fuel consumption. The car labelling directive requires the official figure to be given in litres per 100 kilometres to one decimal place, on a label of A4 size. The measure is built from two legal units and is therefore legal itself. Lower is better here, the opposite of miles per gallon. And the scale is not linear: going from 12 to 10 litres per 100 kilometres saves more fuel than going from 7 to 5.
Kilometres per litre. Kilometres per litre measures the inverse of litres per 100 kilometres: distance per volume rather than volume per distance. The relation is therefore not linear but inversely proportional, 100 divided by the figure – 20 kilometres per litre is 5 litres per 100 kilometres, and the two measures meet at 10. Higher is better here. The unit is not the EU’s official measure but is common outside Europe. The trap is averages: mixed driving must be averaged over litres per distance.
