가끔 일부 자동차 전문기자도 혼동하는 연비(L/100 km or km/L)의 정의
한글로는 같은 단어인데 사용하는 사람의 한자어 정의(燃費 or 燃比)가 다르기 때문에 고연비, 저연비의 표현이 달라짐
(여성주의라고 번역되는 페미니즘의 본질이 양성평등으로 알고 있는가 여성우월이라 알고 있는가와 비슷)
Fuel efficiency
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_efficiency In most countries, using the metric system, fuel economy is stated as "fuel consumption" in liters per 100 kilometers (L/100 km) or kilometers per liter (km/L or kmpl).
The fuel efficiency of motor vehicles can be expressed in more ways:
Fuel consumption is the amount of fuel used per unit distance; for example, litres per 100 kilometres (L/100 km). In this case, the lower the value, the more economic a vehicle is (the less fuel it needs to travel a certain distance); this is the measure generally used across Europe (except the UK, Denmark and The Netherlands - see below), New Zealand, Australia and Canada. Also in Uruguay, Paraguay, Guatemala, Colombia, China, and Madagascar, as also in post-Soviet space.
Fuel economy is the distance travelled per unit volume of fuel used; for example, kilometres per litre (km/L) or miles per gallon (MPG), where 1 MPG (imperial) ≈ 0.354006 km/L. In this case, the higher the value, the more economic a vehicle is (the more distance it can travel with a certain volume of fuel). This measure is popular in the US and the UK (mpg), but in Europe, India, Japan, South Korea and Latin America the metric unit km/L is used instead.
