Gallon (Uk)/mile
A gallon per mile (gal/mi) is a unit of fuel consumption measurement indicating the number of gallons used to travel one mile.
History/Origin
The gallon per mile unit has historically been used in the UK and other regions to measure vehicle fuel efficiency, especially before the widespread adoption of metric units. It reflects the amount of fuel consumed over a distance, aiding in fuel economy comparisons.
Current Use
Today, the gallon per mile is primarily used in the UK and some other countries for specific vehicle efficiency assessments, though it has largely been replaced by metric units like liters per 100 kilometers in many regions.
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.
