The amount of fuel consumed for traveling a particular distance or temporal duration with the given vehicle (e.g. liters per 100 km).

-   Note 1: There are unfortunately no standard unit codes for liters per 100 km. Use [unitText](https://schema.org/unitText) to indicate the unit of measurement, e.g. L/100 km.
-   Note 2: There are two ways of indicating the fuel consumption, [fuelConsumption](https://schema.org/fuelConsumption) (e.g. 8 liters per 100 km) and [fuelEfficiency](https://schema.org/fuelEfficiency) (e.g. 30 miles per gallon). They are reciprocal.
-   Note 3: Often, the absolute value is useful only when related to driving speed ("at 80 km/h") or usage pattern ("city traffic"). You can use [valueReference](https://schema.org/valueReference) to link the value for the fuel consumption to another value.
