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).
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.
