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 (Us)
Mile per gallon (US) is a unit of fuel efficiency representing the number of miles a vehicle can travel on one US gallon of fuel.
History/Origin
The MPG (US) unit has been used in the United States since the early 20th century to measure vehicle fuel efficiency, becoming a standard metric for consumers and manufacturers to compare vehicle performance.
Current Use
Today, MPG (US) remains a common measure of fuel economy for vehicles in the United States, used in vehicle specifications, fuel economy ratings, and environmental assessments within the 'Fuel Consumption' converter under the 'Common Converters' category.
