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).
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.
