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 Nautical Miles per Liter

Nautical miles per liter (nmi/L) quantifies how far a vessel travels on one liter of fuel. 1 nmi/L = 1.852 km/L. Typical values: sailing yacht under auxiliary diesel ~0.2-0.5 nmi/L; fast 35-knot catamaran ferry ~0.003-0.008 nmi/L; outboard RIB at planning speed ~0.01-0.04 nmi/L. A sportsboat with a 200 L tank at 0.08 nmi/L has ~16 nmi theoretical range, reduced by 30-40% safety margin. Maritime energy efficiency programs under MARPOL Annex VI reference nmi/L before normalising for cargo capacity. 1 nmi/L = 1.852 km/L.
