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'.
Nautical Mile/gallon (Us)
Nautical mile per gallon (US) is a unit of fuel efficiency measuring the distance traveled in nautical miles per gallon of fuel consumed.
History/Origin
The unit originated from maritime and aviation contexts where nautical miles are standard for navigation, and it has been used primarily in the United States to assess fuel consumption of ships and aircraft.
Current Use
Currently, this unit is used in specialized maritime and aeronautical industries within the US to evaluate fuel efficiency, though it is less common than other units like miles per gallon or liters per 100 kilometers.
