Gigameter/liter
Gigameter per liter (Gm/L) is a unit of fuel consumption measuring the distance traveled in gigameters per liter of fuel used.
History/Origin
The gigameter (Gm) is a metric unit of length equal to one billion meters, introduced as part of the metric system. The use of Gm/L in fuel consumption is uncommon and mainly theoretical, as typical units are km/L or miles per gallon.
Current Use
Gm/L is rarely used in practical applications; it may appear in scientific contexts or large-scale theoretical calculations involving vast distances and fuel efficiency, but it is not a standard unit in everyday fuel consumption measurements.
Gallon (Us)/100 Mi
A measurement of fuel consumption indicating the number of gallons used per 100 miles traveled.
History/Origin
The gallon (US) has been used as a standard unit of volume in the United States since the 19th century, primarily for measuring liquids like fuel. The 'per 100 miles' metric is a common way to express fuel efficiency in the US, especially in automotive contexts.
Current Use
This unit is used in the United States to express fuel consumption, particularly for vehicles, indicating how many gallons of fuel are needed to travel 100 miles.
