Enter the amount of fuel and the fuel efficiency into the calculator to determine the distance. This calculator can also evaluate any of the variables given the others are known.

Liter To Km Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the distance a vehicle can travel on a certain amount of fuel (in liters).

D = L * FE

Variables:

  • D is the distance that can be travelled (km)
  • L is the amount of fuel (liters)
  • FE is the fuel efficiency of the vehicle (km/liter)

To calculate the distance a vehicle can travel on a certain amount of fuel, multiply the amount of fuel in liters by the fuel efficiency of the vehicle in kilometers per liter.

What is Liter To Km?

A liter to kilometer is not a standard or directly convertible measurement as they represent two different quantities. A liter is a unit of volume in the metric system, often used to measure liquid capacity. On the other hand, a kilometer is a unit of length or distance, also in the metric system. Therefore, a direct conversion between the two is not possible without additional information such as fuel efficiency in the context of vehicles.

How to Calculate Liter To Km?

The following steps outline how to calculate the Liter to Km conversion using the formula D = L * FE.


  1. First, determine the amount of fuel in liters (L).
  2. Next, determine the fuel efficiency of the vehicle (FE) in km/liter.
  3. Next, gather the formula from above = D = L * FE.
  4. Finally, calculate the distance that can be travelled (D) in kilometers.
  5. After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.

Example Problem : 

Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.

amount of fuel (L) = 20

fuel efficiency (km/liter) = 15
