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.
Meter/liter
The meter per liter (m/L) is a unit used to measure fuel efficiency, indicating the distance traveled in meters per liter of fuel consumed.
History/Origin
The m/L unit has been used historically in certain regions to express fuel efficiency, especially in contexts where metric units are standard. It is less common today, having been largely replaced by kilometers per liter (km/L) or miles per gallon (mpg).
Current Use
Currently, the meter per liter is rarely used in practical applications; it may appear in specialized scientific or engineering contexts but is generally superseded by more conventional fuel efficiency units in everyday use.
