Litres Per 100 Kilometres

A figure used by European car makers to show how many litres (0.22 gallon) a car needs to cover 100 kilometres(62 miles) at a certain speed. This figure may be converted to miles per gallon (mpg) by dividing 282.5 by the litres per 100km figure.

For example, if a car has a value of 10 litres/100km, this would equate to 28.25 miles/gallon (282.5 divided by 10).
