liter per 100 kilometers

liter per 100 kilometers
(L/100 km)
   a measure of fuel consumption rate for vehicles used widely in Europe and elsewhere. Although this unit is specified in the regulations of several countries, it violates SI rules for naming units. The equivalent SI unit is centiliters per kilometer (cL/km). In the U.S., fuel consumption is stated as the number of miles driven per U.S. gallon of fuel consumed; a consumption rate of <em>x</em> liters per 100 km equals exactly 100/x liters per kilometer or about 235.215/<em>x</em> miles per gallon. In the British Commonwealth, fuel consumption was (and sometimes still is) measured in miles per Imperial gallon; x liters per 100 kilometers is equal to 282.481/x miles per Imperial gallon.
