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.
Mile (Us)/liter
The mile per liter (mi/L) is a unit of fuel consumption measurement indicating how many miles a vehicle can travel on one liter of fuel.
History/Origin
The mile per liter has been used primarily in countries like the UK and Australia to measure fuel efficiency, especially where the imperial system is prevalent. It is less common in the US, where miles per gallon are more standard.
Current Use
Today, miles per liter are used mainly in Australia and the UK for fuel efficiency ratings, though miles per gallon remain more widespread in the US. The unit is part of fuel consumption conversions within the 'Common Converters' category.
