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 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).
