About Kilometers per Liter
Kilometers per liter (km/L) is the standard fuel economy unit in Japan, South Korea, India, Indonesia, Brazil, and most of Latin America and Southeast Asia. Japan's WLTC test cycle certifies fuel economy in km/L under JIS D 1012. Representative WLTC values: Toyota Prius ~26-32 km/L; Honda Jazz hybrid ~28-36 km/L; Hyundai Tucson petrol ~11-14 km/L; Royal Enfield Bullet 350 (India) ~35-42 km/L; 50cc scooter ~40-55 km/L. Hypermiling records: a Prius exceeding 80 km/L. 1 km/L = 100/(km/L value) L/100km = 2.352 mpg(US).
About Kilometers per US Gallon
Kilometers per US gallon (km/US gal) appears in regions where metric road distances coexist with US gallon fuel pricing - the US-Mexico border zone, parts of Latin America, and the Caribbean. 1 km/US gal = 1/3.785411784 km/L = 0.264172 km/L. A typical car at 12.75 km/L = 48.3 km/US gal; a scooter at 35 km/L = 132 km/US gal. Mexican Federal District fleet databases and Central American logistics records use this unit when US gallon fuel costs are referenced in kilometre-based route planning. 1 km/US gal = 0.264172 km/L.
