About Fuel Consumption

Explore fuel consumption units used around the world for measuring vehicle efficiency

Historical Context

Fuel consumption measurement varies significantly by region. The United States traditionally uses miles per gallon (MPG), while most of Europe and Asia use liters per 100 kilometers (L/100km). The United Kingdom used imperial gallons for their MPG calculations, creating confusion when comparing with US figures. These differences reflect both cultural preferences and the historical development of automotive industries in different regions.

Modern Standards

Today, kilometers per liter (km/L) and liters per 100 kilometers (L/100km) are becoming global standards, with L/100km being the official EU standard for vehicle fuel efficiency. The US continues to use MPG for consumer-facing information, though the EPA also provides equivalent L/100km figures. Electric vehicles have introduced new efficiency metrics like kilowatt-hours per 100 miles (kWh/100mi) or miles per kilowatt-hour (mi/kWh), which parallel traditional fuel consumption units.
