Nautical Mile/liter
A nautical mile per liter (n.mile/L) is a unit of fuel consumption measuring the number of nautical miles traveled per liter of fuel used.
History/Origin
The nautical mile has been used historically in maritime and aviation contexts, originating from the Earth's geometry, while liters are a metric unit of volume. The combination as a fuel consumption unit is a modern adaptation for specialized navigation and transportation industries.
Current Use
This unit is used primarily in maritime and aviation sectors to express fuel efficiency, especially in contexts where nautical miles are the standard distance measurement.
Mile (Us)/liter
The mile per liter (mi/L) is a unit of fuel consumption measurement indicating how many miles a vehicle can travel on one liter of fuel.
History/Origin
The mile per liter has been used primarily in countries like the UK and Australia to measure fuel efficiency, especially where the imperial system is prevalent. It is less common in the US, where miles per gallon are more standard.
Current Use
Today, miles per liter are used mainly in Australia and the UK for fuel efficiency ratings, though miles per gallon remain more widespread in the US. The unit is part of fuel consumption conversions within the 'Common Converters' category.
