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).
Gallon (Uk)/mile
A gallon per mile (gal/mi) is a unit of fuel consumption measurement indicating the number of gallons used to travel one mile.
History/Origin
The gallon per mile unit has historically been used in the UK and other regions to measure vehicle fuel efficiency, especially before the widespread adoption of metric units. It reflects the amount of fuel consumed over a distance, aiding in fuel economy comparisons.
Current Use
Today, the gallon per mile is primarily used in the UK and some other countries for specific vehicle efficiency assessments, though it has largely been replaced by metric units like liters per 100 kilometers in many regions.
