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).
Meter/gallon (Us)
The meter per gallon (US) is a unit of fuel consumption measurement indicating the distance in meters traveled per US gallon of fuel used.
History/Origin
The unit originated from the need to measure fuel efficiency in different measurement systems, particularly in the United States, combining the metric unit of distance (meter) with the US customary volume unit (gallon). It is used mainly in contexts where metric and imperial units are compared or converted.
Current Use
The meter per gallon (US) is primarily used in fuel efficiency and consumption calculations, especially in regions or industries where metric units are preferred but US gallons are still relevant, such as automotive and environmental assessments.
