Centimeter/liter
Centimeter per liter (cm/L) is a unit of measurement used to express the amount of length (centimeters) per unit volume (liters), often in contexts like fuel consumption or efficiency measurements.
History/Origin
The centimeter/liter unit has been used in specialized fields such as automotive and engineering to quantify fuel efficiency or consumption, though it is less common than other units like km/l or mpg. Its usage stems from the metric system's adoption for precise measurements.
Current Use
Today, cm/L is occasionally used in specific technical contexts, such as measuring fuel consumption in small-scale or experimental setups, but it is not a standard or widely adopted unit in general fuel efficiency metrics.
Liter/100 Km
Liter per 100 kilometers (L/100 km) is a measurement of fuel consumption indicating the amount of fuel (in liters) used to travel 100 kilometers.
History/Origin
The L/100 km unit became widely adopted in Europe and other regions as a standard measure of vehicle fuel efficiency, replacing older units like miles per gallon, to provide a clear and consistent metric for consumers and manufacturers.
Current Use
L/100 km is commonly used in vehicle fuel efficiency ratings, especially in European and international markets, to help consumers compare the fuel consumption of different vehicles.
