What does dekameter per liter (dam/L) measure?

It measures fuel economy as the number of dekametres traveled per litre of fuel consumed, where one dekameter equals 10 metres.

Why convert dam/L to mile/gallon (UK)?

Converting helps translate metric fuel economy data into imperial units used in the UK for easier comparisons and regulatory use.

Is the mile/gallon unit used outside the UK?

Mile per gallon (UK) is primarily used in the UK and some Commonwealth countries for expressing vehicle fuel efficiency.
