Gallon (Us)/mile
A unit of fuel consumption measurement representing the number of gallons used per mile traveled.
History/Origin
The gallon (US) has been used in the United States since the 19th century as a standard measure of volume for liquids, particularly fuel. The mile has been a customary unit of distance in the US and UK, with its origins tracing back to Roman times. The combination of gallons per mile is primarily used in the US to measure vehicle fuel efficiency.
Current Use
This unit is used mainly in the United States for expressing fuel consumption, especially in older or specialized contexts. It is less common today, with miles per gallon (mpg) being the more standard metric for fuel efficiency, but gallons per mile may still be used in certain technical or historical analyses.
Terameter/liter
A terameter per liter (Tm/L) is a unit of fuel consumption measurement representing one terameter traveled per liter of fuel used.
History/Origin
The terameter (Tm) is a metric unit of length introduced as part of the International System of Units (SI) to denote 10^12 meters. The concept of measuring fuel consumption in Tm/L is a modern extension used primarily in scientific and technical contexts to express very large distances per unit of fuel, though it is not a common unit in everyday use.
Current Use
The Tm/L unit is primarily used in scientific research and technical fields to quantify extremely high fuel efficiency or large-scale transportation distances, especially in theoretical or specialized applications within the context of fuel consumption and transportation analysis.
