Liter/100 Km
Liter per 100 kilometers (L/100 km) is a measurement of fuel consumption indicating the amount of fuel (in liters) used to travel 100 kilometers.
History/Origin
The L/100 km unit became widely adopted in Europe and other regions as a standard measure of vehicle fuel efficiency, replacing older units like miles per gallon, to provide a clear and consistent metric for consumers and manufacturers.
Current Use
L/100 km is commonly used in vehicle fuel efficiency ratings, especially in European and international markets, to help consumers compare the fuel consumption of different vehicles.
Meter/gallon (Us)
The meter per gallon (US) is a unit of fuel consumption measurement indicating the distance in meters traveled per US gallon of fuel used.
History/Origin
The unit originated from the need to measure fuel efficiency in different measurement systems, particularly in the United States, combining the metric unit of distance (meter) with the US customary volume unit (gallon). It is used mainly in contexts where metric and imperial units are compared or converted.
Current Use
The meter per gallon (US) is primarily used in fuel efficiency and consumption calculations, especially in regions or industries where metric units are preferred but US gallons are still relevant, such as automotive and environmental assessments.
