Liters per 100 kilometers (L/100km) is the standard fuel efficiency unit in most countries, especially in Europe. It measures how many liters of fuel a car uses to travel 100 kilometers. A typical compact car averages 5–7 L/100km, while SUVs usually range between 8–12 L/100km. This unit is especially useful when comparing electric or hybrid cars. Gallons per 100 miles (US) is the standard fuel-efficiency measurement in the United States, similar to L/100km in metric countries. For example, a Toyota Camry hybrid averages about 2.5 gal/100mi (≈5.9 L/100km), a Ford F-150 pickup uses around 5 gal/100mi (≈11.8 L/100km), and a large SUV like a Chevrolet Suburban might consume 7 gal/100mi (≈16.5 L/100km). This unit is widely used in vehicle specifications, fuel economy labels for calculating fuel costs over long distances.
