1. What is Km Per Litre?

Km per litre is a measure of fuel efficiency that shows how many kilometers a vehicle can travel using one litre of fuel. It's commonly used in countries that use the metric system to compare vehicle fuel economy.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses a simple formula:

Where:

• Distance — Kilometers traveled (must be > 0)
• Fuel — Liters of fuel consumed (must be > 0)

Explanation: The calculation divides the distance traveled by the amount of fuel used to determine how many kilometers the vehicle can travel per litre of fuel.

3. Importance of Fuel Efficiency

Details: Knowing your vehicle's fuel efficiency helps with budgeting for fuel costs, comparing vehicles, and monitoring your vehicle's performance over time. It's also useful for environmental impact assessment.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: For accurate results, measure distance using your odometer and fuel consumption from a full tank to full tank refill. Enter values in kilometers and liters respectively.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What's a good km per litre value?
A: This varies by vehicle type. Small cars typically get 15-20 km/l, while SUVs might get 10-15 km/l. Hybrids can exceed 25 km/l.

Q2: How can I improve my km per litre?
A: Maintain proper tire pressure, avoid aggressive driving, reduce excess weight, and keep up with regular vehicle maintenance.

Q3: Is km per litre the same as miles per gallon (MPG)?
A: No, they're different units. 1 km/l ≈ 2.35 MPG (US) or 2.82 MPG (UK).

Q4: Why does my actual km per litre differ from manufacturer claims?
A: Manufacturer tests are conducted under ideal conditions. Real-world driving with traffic, hills, and climate control use affects results.

Q5: Should I calculate over multiple tanks for better accuracy?
A: Yes, calculating over several tanks provides a more accurate average as driving conditions vary.
