The first car with a fuel consumption of 7.6 L/100 km uses 7.6 L to travel 100 km. The second car, with a fuel consumption of 6.9 L/100 km, uses 6.9 L to travel 100 km. The car with a fuel consumption of 6.9 L/100 km uses less fuel to travel 100 km. Leo should buy the second car in order to save money on gas.
