Meter/quart (Us)
The meter/quart (US) is a unit of fuel consumption measurement representing the distance traveled per quart of fuel used, primarily in the United States.
History/Origin
The meter/quart (US) originated as a custom unit in the US to express fuel efficiency, combining the metric distance unit 'meter' with the US customary volume unit 'quart'. It is not an officially recognized standard but is used informally in some contexts.
Current Use
Today, the meter/quart (US) is rarely used; fuel consumption is more commonly expressed in miles per gallon (mpg) or liters per 100 kilometers. The unit may still appear in niche applications or historical data related to US fuel efficiency measurements.
Gigameter/liter
Gigameter per liter (Gm/L) is a unit of fuel consumption measuring the distance traveled in gigameters per liter of fuel used.
History/Origin
The gigameter (Gm) is a metric unit of length equal to one billion meters, introduced as part of the metric system. The use of Gm/L in fuel consumption is uncommon and mainly theoretical, as typical units are km/L or miles per gallon.
Current Use
Gm/L is rarely used in practical applications; it may appear in scientific contexts or large-scale theoretical calculations involving vast distances and fuel efficiency, but it is not a standard unit in everyday fuel consumption measurements.
