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 Liters per Kilometer
Liters per kilometer (L/km) is 100× larger than L/100km, suited to heavy vehicles and industrial machinery. A European family car at 0.07 L/km; a Class 8 semi-truck 0.33-0.40 L/km; an M1 Abrams tank ~1.3 L/km on road, ~4 L/km off-road; a diesel mainline locomotive 5-8 L/km. Australian road trains (200+ t) log fuel in L/km to plan outback depot spacing. A Caterpillar 793F mining dump truck fully laden uses 4-6 L/km. 1 L/km = 100 L/100km.
