Kilometer/gallon (Us)
Kilometer per gallon (US) is a unit of fuel efficiency indicating the number of kilometers traveled per US gallon of fuel consumed.
History/Origin
The km/gal unit originated from the need to measure fuel efficiency in countries using the metric system, combined with the US customary gallon, primarily used in the United States for automotive fuel economy ratings.
Current Use
This unit is used in the United States to express vehicle fuel efficiency, especially in contexts where metric distance is preferred but fuel consumption is measured in US gallons.
Centimeter/liter
Centimeter per liter (cm/L) is a unit of measurement used to express the amount of length (centimeters) per unit volume (liters), often in contexts like fuel consumption or efficiency measurements.
History/Origin
The centimeter/liter unit has been used in specialized fields such as automotive and engineering to quantify fuel efficiency or consumption, though it is less common than other units like km/l or mpg. Its usage stems from the metric system's adoption for precise measurements.
Current Use
Today, cm/L is occasionally used in specific technical contexts, such as measuring fuel consumption in small-scale or experimental setups, but it is not a standard or widely adopted unit in general fuel efficiency metrics.
