Measured fuel economy
Calculate consumption from distance traveled and fuel used.
How this works
L/100 km = fuel/distance × 100; mpg converts kilometers and liters to the selected gallon definition.
Example
Using the example inputs, measured consumption is 7 L/100 km.
- Distance since fill
- 500 km
- Fuel used
- 35 L
- Measured consumption
- 7 L/100 km
Scope and assumptions
Use comparable full-tank readings; dashboard and fill-level errors affect results.
