About This Conversion
Kilometers per liter to liters per 100 km divides 100 by the km/L figure. Both are metric, but they run in opposite directions: km/L is distance per fuel, L/100km is fuel per distance.
Km/L is the standard figure in Japan, India and much of South America, while Europe uses L/100km, so this is the conversion for comparing a car sold in both. A 20 km/L rating is 5 L/100km, and the pleasing symmetry that 10 km/L is exactly 10 L/100km is the only point where the two scales cross.
