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.
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.
