Use kilometres per litre (km/l) when distance is in kilometres and fuel price is per litre. This works for cars, bikes, and all vehicles.
Is the fuel cost estimate accurate?
It provides a reliable estimate. Actual fuel usage may vary based on traffic, driving style, load, AC usage, and road conditions.
Can I use this for bikes and trucks?
