How do Canadians measure fuel efficiency?

In Canada, fuel efficiency is measured as liters of gas used to drive 100 kilometers, or L/100km. A lower figure is more fuel efficient, because it represents less fuel used across the same number of miles.

Is 8.3 l per 100km good?

If a car uses eight to 12 litres of gas for every 100 kilometres, that's pretty good. This usually fits most medium-sized SUVs and some lighter trucks. Cars that use 12 to 14 litres for every 100 kilometres are average — not too bad, not too great. This is what you'd expect from bigger SUVs and trucks.

What is good fuel economy L/100 km for a truck?

For compact and midsize trucks, achieving below 12 L/100km is considered a good fuel efficiency rating. Full-size trucks that manage under 11 L/100km are deemed efficient.

How does Canada measure fuel efficiency?

In Canada, fuel efficiency is measured as liters of gas used to drive 100 kilometers, or L/100km. A lower figure is more fuel efficient, because it represents less fuel used across the same number of miles.

How is fuel efficiency measured?

Countries using the metric system express fuel efficiency as kilometers per liter (km/L) or as liters per 100 kilometers (L/100 km). Fuel economy varies depending on the vehicle's tire design, transmission structure, and engine, according to Wikipedia and the MIT School of Engineering.

What is the fuel efficiency of a freight truck?

NACFE FFS latest model year trucks are achieving fuel economy in a range of 8.0 to 9.5 MPG. Some trucks were even found to deliver 10 MPG in certain routes, conditions, and seasons.

What is the most fuel-efficient vehicle in Canada?

Enjoy the fuel economy you want from a hybrid with a driving experience that's more engaging than you thought possible. Travel up to 1,125 kilometres on a single tank of gas with Canada's most fuel efficient car - the 2022 IONIQ Hybrid.

How do Canadians measure mileage?

Cars have metric speedometers and odometers, although most speedometers include smaller figures in miles per hour (mph). Fuel efficiency for new vehicles is published by Natural Resources Canada in litres per 100 kilometres, (not kilometres per litre as an analogue of miles per gallon) and miles per (imperial) gallon.
