Some (most?) regions compare fuel efficiency by how much fuel in liters is needed to travel 100km.
English speaking countries (or at least most of them) usually do it the other way around and compare the distance one can travel by fuel unit.

- frosted-flakes 4y agoThe US and UK are probably the only English-speaking countries that measure efficiency in miles per gallon (and not even the same gallon). Everywhere else uses litres per 100 km. I believe my car (2003 VW Jetta TDI diesel) gets about 4.5 L/100 km, which is quite good compared to a typical truck that gets 15+ L/100 km.
