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.
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).
