Determining fuel consumption per kilometer involves calculating the amount of fuel a vehicle uses to travel a specific distance. For example, if a car consumes 10 liters of gasoline to travel 100 kilometers, the fuel consumption is 0.1 liters per kilometer. This metric provides insight into a vehicle’s efficiency.
Understanding a vehicle’s fuel efficiency offers several benefits. It allows for accurate budgeting of fuel costs, facilitates comparison of vehicle performance, and informs decisions related to vehicle maintenance and driving habits to optimize fuel economy. Historically, this calculation was primarily performed manually, but modern vehicles often provide this information through onboard computers.
