Frequently asked questions
How do I measure accurately?
Fill the tank, reset or note odometer, drive, refill, then use distance and liters/gallons pumped.
What is L/100km?
Liters needed to travel 100 km — lower is more efficient. It is the inverse view of km/l.
How is average calculated?
Distance driven ÷ fuel used (km/l or mpg depending on units).
Why show L/100km too?
It is the consumption view of the same data: fuel per 100 distance units.
