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.
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).
