Kilometer/liter
Kilometer per liter (km/L) is a unit of fuel efficiency indicating the distance in kilometers traveled per liter of fuel consumed.
History/Origin
The km/L unit has been widely used in countries like India and Australia to measure vehicle fuel efficiency, especially in the context of consumer vehicles. Its usage became prominent with the adoption of metric units in the 20th century.
Current Use
Today, km/L remains a common metric for measuring fuel efficiency in many countries, particularly in vehicle specifications, fuel economy ratings, and environmental assessments within the 'Fuel Consumption' converter category under 'Common Converters'.
Gigameter/liter
Gigameter per liter (Gm/L) is a unit of fuel consumption measuring the distance traveled in gigameters per liter of fuel used.
History/Origin
The gigameter (Gm) is a metric unit of length equal to one billion meters, introduced as part of the metric system. The use of Gm/L in fuel consumption is uncommon and mainly theoretical, as typical units are km/L or miles per gallon.
Current Use
Gm/L is rarely used in practical applications; it may appear in scientific contexts or large-scale theoretical calculations involving vast distances and fuel efficiency, but it is not a standard unit in everyday fuel consumption measurements.
