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'.
Gallon (Us)/mile
A unit of fuel consumption measurement representing the number of gallons used per mile traveled.
History/Origin
The gallon (US) has been used in the United States since the 19th century as a standard measure of volume for liquids, particularly fuel. The mile has been a customary unit of distance in the US and UK, with its origins tracing back to Roman times. The combination of gallons per mile is primarily used in the US to measure vehicle fuel efficiency.
Current Use
