How to Convert Hectometer/liter to Gigameter/liter
1 hm/L = 1e-07 Gm/L
Example: convert 15 hm/L to Gm/L:
15 hm/L = 15 × 1e-07 Gm/L = 1.5e-06 Gm/L

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).
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.
