Fuel Efficiency Formula:
| From: | To: |
Km/L (kilometers per liter) is a measurement of fuel efficiency that indicates how many kilometers a vehicle can travel on one liter of fuel. It's a standard metric used in the Philippines and many other countries to measure vehicle fuel consumption.
The calculator uses the simple formula:
Where:
Explanation: This calculation provides the average fuel efficiency over the measured distance, giving you the number of kilometers your vehicle can travel per liter of fuel.
Details: Calculating fuel efficiency helps vehicle owners monitor fuel consumption, plan travel budgets, identify maintenance issues, and make informed decisions about vehicle usage and potential savings.
Tips: Enter the total distance traveled in kilometers and the total fuel consumed in liters. Both values must be positive numbers. For accurate results, measure fuel consumption over a significant distance (at least 100 km recommended).
Q1: What is considered good fuel efficiency in the Philippines?
A: Good fuel efficiency varies by vehicle type. Generally, 10-15 km/L is good for sedans, 8-12 km/L for SUVs, and 15-25 km/L for motorcycles.
Q2: How can I improve my vehicle's fuel efficiency?
A: Regular maintenance, proper tire inflation, smooth driving, avoiding excessive idling, and reducing vehicle weight can improve fuel efficiency.
Q3: Should I calculate fuel efficiency with a full tank?
A: For most accurate results, fill your tank completely, drive a significant distance, then refill to full and use the fuel consumed for calculation.
Q4: Does traffic affect fuel efficiency calculations?
A: Yes, heavy traffic typically reduces fuel efficiency. For consistent comparisons, try to measure under similar driving conditions.
Q5: How often should I check my fuel efficiency?
A: Regular monitoring (monthly or every few tanks) helps track changes that might indicate maintenance needs or driving habit impacts.
