km/L and mgp. Fuel efficiency is a form of thermal efficiency, meaning the ratio from effort to result of a process that converts chemical potential energy contained in a carrier (fuel) into kinetic energy or work. Overall fuel efficiency may vary per device, which in turn may vary per application fuel efficiency, especially fossil fuel power plants or industries dealing with combustion, such as ammonia production during the Haber process.

The efficiency of the fuel depends on the amount of the heat produced. The amount of heat energy produced by the complete combustion of one kilogram of fuel is called its calorific value. The unit for the calorific value is kilo joule/kg.
