About Microliters per Kilometer
A microliter per kilometer (µL/km) equals 10⁻⁴ L/100km - a unit reserved for laboratory engine testing and fuel cell research. A car consuming 7 L/100km corresponds to 70,000 µL/km, illustrating why µL/km is used only for scientific contexts: GDI injectors deliver 10-50 µL per injection event; engine oil blowby consumption is measured in 50-500 µL/km; hydrogen fuel cell prototype comparisons use µL-equivalent/km. Single-cylinder research engines log fuel use in µL/shot to map combustion efficiency across load sweeps. 1 µL/km = 0.0001 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).
