About Liters per 100 Kilometers
Liters per 100 kilometers (L/100km) is the standard fuel consumption unit of the EU, China, Australia, and most of the world. Lower values mean greater efficiency: 5 L/100km is exactly twice as efficient as 10 L/100km. EU WLTP certification requires reporting in L/100km; CO₂ in g/km ≈ L/100km × 23.9 (petrol) or × 26.5 (diesel). Benchmarks: European average new car (2024 WLTP) ~6.5 L/100km; compact SUV 8-11; articulated truck 28-35; M1 Abrams tank ~130. 1 L/100km = 235.215/mpg(US) = 282.481/mpg(Imp).
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.
