About Liters per Mile

Liters per mile (L/mi) combines the SI litre with the statute mile. 1 L/mi = 100/1.609344 = 62.137 L/100km - an extreme consumption scale. A vehicle consuming 1 L/mi burns as much as a car doing 62 L/100km (equivalent to large agricultural machinery or construction equipment). In endurance motorsport, race engineers convert telemetry fuel-flow (L/s) and lap distance (measured in miles) into L/mi for refuelling window calculations. An M1 Abrams tank consuming 3.3 L/km corresponds to 0.053 L/mi. 1 L/mi = 62.137 L/100km.

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).
