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.
Nautical Mile/liter
A nautical mile per liter (n.mile/L) is a unit of fuel consumption measuring the number of nautical miles traveled per liter of fuel used.
History/Origin
The nautical mile has been used historically in maritime and aviation contexts, originating from the Earth's geometry, while liters are a metric unit of volume. The combination as a fuel consumption unit is a modern adaptation for specialized navigation and transportation industries.
Current Use
This unit is used primarily in maritime and aviation sectors to express fuel efficiency, especially in contexts where nautical miles are the standard distance measurement.
