Nautical Mile/gallon (Us)
Nautical mile per gallon (US) is a unit of fuel efficiency measuring the distance traveled in nautical miles per gallon of fuel consumed.
History/Origin
The unit originated from maritime and aviation contexts where nautical miles are standard for navigation, and it has been used primarily in the United States to assess fuel consumption of ships and aircraft.
Current Use
Currently, this unit is used in specialized maritime and aeronautical industries within the US to evaluate fuel efficiency, though it is less common than other units like miles per gallon or liters per 100 kilometers.
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.
