Hectometer/liter
A hectometer per liter (hm/L) is a unit of fuel consumption measurement representing the number of hectometers traveled per liter of fuel used.
History/Origin
The hectometer, as a metric unit of length, was introduced with the metric system in the 19th century. The combination with liters for fuel consumption is a less common, regional unit used primarily in some European contexts, but it has not been widely adopted internationally.
Current Use
The hm/L unit is rarely used in modern contexts; it may appear in specific regional or historical data related to fuel efficiency, but most countries now prefer units like liters per 100 kilometers (L/100km) or miles per gallon (mpg).
Mile/gallon (Uk)
Mile per gallon (UK) is a unit of fuel efficiency measuring the distance in miles traveled per gallon of fuel consumed, used primarily in the United Kingdom.
History/Origin
The mile per gallon (UK) has been a traditional measure of vehicle fuel efficiency in the UK, originating from the imperial system of units. It became widely adopted during the 20th century as a standard metric for assessing vehicle economy.
Current Use
Today, MPG (UK) is used in the UK and some other countries to evaluate and compare vehicle fuel efficiency, especially in automotive testing, vehicle specifications, and environmental assessments within the context of fuel consumption.
