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.
Meter/cubic Centimeter
The meter per cubic centimeter (m/cm^3) is a unit of measurement representing a ratio of length to volume, often used in specialized contexts to express density or concentration.
History/Origin
The unit has been used in scientific and engineering fields where ratios of length to volume are relevant, but it is not a standard SI unit. Its usage has been largely replaced by more conventional units such as meters per cubic meter (m/m^3) or other density units.
Current Use
Currently, the meter per cubic centimeter is rarely used in practice, especially within fuel consumption conversions, where more standard units are preferred. It may appear in niche applications or theoretical calculations within the 'Fuel Consumption' converter in the 'Common Converters' category.
