Frequently asked questions
How many liters per km are in one kilometers per liter?
One km/L equals 1 L/km (this pair inverts, since one measures distance per volume and the other volume per distance).
How do I convert kilometers per liter to liters per km?
Divide 1 by the kilometers per liter value to get liters per km, and divide 1 by the liters per km value to get back kilometers per liter. This "invert the constant" rule works both ways because one unit is distance-per-volume and the other is volume-per-distance.
Is this conversion exact?
Yes. This conversion uses the exact defined relationship between kilometers per liter and liters per km, so the result shown is mathematically precise (rounded only for display).
When is kilometers per liter to liters per km conversion commonly used?
It is commonly used in automotive fuel efficiency ratings, vehicle comparisons and shopping, as well as EPA, WLTP and other international fuel economy standards.

About this conversion
Kilometers per liter and Liters per km are both units used to measure fuel economy. Kilometers per liter (km/L) measures how many kilometers a vehicle travels using one liter of fuel; a higher number means better efficiency. It is a common metric fuel economy unit. Liters per kilometer (L/km) measures how many liters of fuel a vehicle consumes over one kilometer; a lower number means better efficiency. It is used for precise consumption tracking. Kilometers per liter is a distance-per-volume efficiency unit while liters per km is a volume-per-distance consumption unit, so converting between them means inverting the value rather than multiplying by a flat factor: 1 km/L = 1 L/km. This relationship stays accurate for automotive fuel efficiency ratings, vehicle comparisons and shopping, as well as EPA, WLTP and other international fuel economy standards.
