This is in Liter/100 km, so higher is worse here !
How much of a correlation is there though? I notice that according to your graph, a vehicle with a 60 kW engine uses approximately half the fuel of a vehicle with a 300 kW engine. Presumably however, these are radically different vehicles. I would imagine that most cars with 300 kW motors are luxury cars, sports cars or trucks while most of the ones sporting 60 kW motors are economy cars. Put the same motor in the same car and I'll bet the difference would be much less significant.
