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).
Kilometer/liter
Kilometer per liter (km/L) is a unit of fuel efficiency indicating the distance in kilometers traveled per liter of fuel consumed.
History/Origin
The km/L unit has been widely used in countries like India and Australia to measure vehicle fuel efficiency, especially in the context of consumer vehicles. Its usage became prominent with the adoption of metric units in the 20th century.
Current Use
Today, km/L remains a common metric for measuring fuel efficiency in many countries, particularly in vehicle specifications, fuel economy ratings, and environmental assessments within the 'Fuel Consumption' converter category under 'Common Converters'.
