Frequently asked questions
How many kilometers per liter are in one liters per km?
One L/km equals 1 km/L (this pair inverts, since one measures distance per volume and the other volume per distance).
How do I convert liters per km to kilometers per liter?
Divide 1 by the liters per km value to get kilometers per liter, and divide 1 by the kilometers per liter value to get back liters per km. 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 liters per km and kilometers per liter, so the result shown is mathematically precise (rounded only for display).
When is liters per km to kilometers per liter 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
Liters per km and Kilometers per liter are both units used to measure fuel economy. 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 (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 km is a distance-per-volume efficiency unit while kilometers per liter is a volume-per-distance consumption unit, so converting between them means inverting the value rather than multiplying by a flat factor: 1 L/km = 1 km/L. This relationship stays accurate for automotive fuel efficiency ratings, vehicle comparisons and shopping, as well as EPA, WLTP and other international fuel economy standards.
