Kilometer/gallon (Us)
Kilometer per gallon (US) is a unit of fuel efficiency indicating the number of kilometers traveled per US gallon of fuel consumed.
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.
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.
