Please provide values below to convert kilometer/liter [km/L] to petameter/liter [Pm/L], or Convert petameter/liter to kilometer/liter.
How to Convert Kilometer/liter to Petameter/liter
1 km/L = 1e-12 Pm/L
Example: convert 15 km/L to Pm/L:
15 km/L = 15 × 1e-12 Pm/L = 1.5e-11 Pm/L

Kilometer/liter
Kilometer per liter (km/L) is a unit of fuel efficiency indicating the distance in kilometers traveled per liter of fuel consumed.
History/Origin
The km/L unit has been widely used in countries like India and Australia to measure vehicle fuel efficiency, especially in the context of consumer vehicles. Its usage became prominent with the adoption of metric units in the 20th century.
Current Use
Today, km/L remains a common metric for measuring fuel efficiency in many countries, particularly in vehicle specifications, fuel economy ratings, and environmental assessments within the 'Fuel Consumption' converter category under 'Common Converters'.
Petameter/liter
A petameter per liter (Pm/L) is a unit of fuel consumption measurement representing one petameter traveled per liter of fuel used.
History/Origin
The petameter (Pm) is a metric unit of length in the International System of Units, introduced as part of the metric system's prefixes. Its use in fuel consumption is theoretical and not common in practical applications, but it can be used for extremely large-scale measurements in scientific contexts.
Current Use
The Pm/L unit is rarely used in practical fuel consumption measurements; it is mainly relevant in theoretical or scientific discussions involving very large distances and fuel efficiency, and it is part of the broader category of common converters for unit conversions.
