History/Origin
The km/gal unit originated from the need to measure fuel efficiency in countries using the metric system, combined with the US customary gallon, primarily used in the United States for automotive fuel economy ratings.
Current Use
This unit is used in the United States to express vehicle fuel efficiency, especially in contexts where metric distance is preferred but fuel consumption is measured in US gallons.
