Kilometer/gallon (Us)
Kilometer per gallon (US) is a unit of fuel efficiency indicating the number of kilometers traveled per US gallon of fuel consumed.
History/Origin
The km/gal unit originated from the need to measure fuel efficiency in countries using the metric system, combined with the US customary gallon, primarily used in the United States for automotive fuel economy ratings.
Current Use
This unit is used in the United States to express vehicle fuel efficiency, especially in contexts where metric distance is preferred but fuel consumption is measured in US gallons.
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.
