What does dekameter per liter measure?

Dekameter per liter measures the distance traveled in dekameters (10 meters each) per litre of fuel consumed, used mainly in scientific or engineering contexts.

Why convert to nautical mile per liter?

Converting to nautical mile per liter helps compare fuel efficiency in marine and aviation settings where distances are commonly expressed in nautical miles.

Can I use this conversion for land vehicles?

This conversion is primarily intended for marine and aviation uses but may also assist in interpreting legacy datasets involving metric distances.
