About Fuel Consumption Units
Fuel consumption (or fuel economy) measures how efficiently a vehicle uses fuel. It’s expressed in two main ways:
- Distance per volume: How far a vehicle can travel per unit of fuel (e.g., miles per gallon, kilometers per liter)
- Volume per distance: How much fuel is consumed to travel a certain distance (e.g., liters per 100 kilometers)
Fuel Economy Reference
| Vehicle Type | MPG (US) | L/100km |
|---|---|---|
| Compact Car (Efficient) | 35-40 | 5.9-6.7 |
| Midsize Sedan (Average) | 25-30 | 7.8-9.4 |
| SUV (Average) | 20-25 | 9.4-11.8 |
| Pickup Truck | 15-20 | 11.8-15.7 |
| Hybrid Vehicle | 45-55 | 4.3-5.2 |
| Electric Vehicle (Equivalent) | 100-130 | 1.8-2.4 |
Note: Remember that L/100km is inverse to MPG – a lower number means better fuel economy.
