Petameter/liter
A petameter per liter (Pm/L) is a unit of fuel consumption measurement representing one petameter traveled per liter of fuel used.
History/Origin
The petameter (Pm) is a metric unit of length in the International System of Units, introduced as part of the metric system's prefixes. Its use in fuel consumption is theoretical and not common in practical applications, but it can be used for extremely large-scale measurements in scientific contexts.
Current Use
The Pm/L unit is rarely used in practical fuel consumption measurements; it is mainly relevant in theoretical or scientific discussions involving very large distances and fuel efficiency, and it is part of the broader category of common converters for unit conversions.
Liter/100 Km
Liter per 100 kilometers (L/100 km) is a measurement of fuel consumption indicating the amount of fuel (in liters) used to travel 100 kilometers.
History/Origin
The L/100 km unit became widely adopted in Europe and other regions as a standard measure of vehicle fuel efficiency, replacing older units like miles per gallon, to provide a clear and consistent metric for consumers and manufacturers.
Current Use
L/100 km is commonly used in vehicle fuel efficiency ratings, especially in European and international markets, to help consumers compare the fuel consumption of different vehicles.
