Frequently Asked Questions
How is fuel consumption calculated?
Fuel consumption is calculated as: (Distance ÷ 100) × Consumption rate (L/100km) = Fuel needed. For MPG: Distance ÷ MPG = Gallons needed. Total cost = Fuel needed × Price per unit.
What is the difference between L/100km and MPG?
L/100km (liters per 100 kilometers) measures fuel used per distance. Lower is better. MPG (miles per gallon) measures distance per fuel unit. Higher is better. They are inverse relationships.
How can I reduce fuel costs?
Reduce fuel costs by: maintaining steady speed (avoid rapid acceleration), keeping tires properly inflated, removing excess weight, using cruise control on highways, and combining trips to reduce cold starts.
