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.
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.
