Fuel consumption conversion directly relates to car purchases, logistics costs, and environmental emissions. In Europe and China, liters per 100 kilometers (L/100km) is the standard for evaluating fuel efficiency, while in the US, miles per gallon (MPG) is used.
History & Background
With the birth of the internal combustion engine in the late 19th century, fuel consumption became a core metric of the auto industry. Early cars lacked a uniform measurement standard until the oil crises of the 1970s forced governments to mandate official fuel economy data.
