Hectometer/liter
A hectometer per liter (hm/L) is a unit of fuel consumption measurement representing the number of hectometers traveled per liter of fuel used.
History/Origin
The hectometer, as a metric unit of length, was introduced with the metric system in the 19th century. The combination with liters for fuel consumption is a less common, regional unit used primarily in some European contexts, but it has not been widely adopted internationally.
Current Use
The hm/L unit is rarely used in modern contexts; it may appear in specific regional or historical data related to fuel efficiency, but most countries now prefer units like liters per 100 kilometers (L/100km) or miles per gallon (mpg).
Gallon (Us)/100 Mi
A measurement of fuel consumption indicating the number of gallons used per 100 miles traveled.
History/Origin
The gallon (US) has been used as a standard unit of volume in the United States since the 19th century, primarily for measuring liquids like fuel. The 'per 100 miles' metric is a common way to express fuel efficiency in the US, especially in automotive contexts.
Current Use
This unit is used in the United States to express fuel consumption, particularly for vehicles, indicating how many gallons of fuel are needed to travel 100 miles.
