Relies on fixed definitions of the imperial gallon and the mile.
-
Does not consider variations in fuel density or external conditions affecting consumption.
-
Accuracy depends on precise distance and volume measurements.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does gallon (UK)/mile measure?
-
It measures fuel consumption as the volume of fuel in imperial gallons used per mile, representing an inverse fuel economy.
-
Why convert gallon (UK)/mile to liter/meter?
-
To translate imperial fuel consumption data into metric units for detailed analysis and compliance with SI-based practices.
-
Can this conversion be used for short-distance fuel calculations?
-
Yes, liter per meter [L/m] is especially useful for short-distance or meter-level fuel consumption evaluations.
Key Terminology
-
Gallon (UK)/mile
-
A fuel consumption unit expressing the volume of imperial gallons used per mile travelled, indicating fuel use intensity.
-
Liter per meter [L/m]
-
A metric fuel consumption unit indicating liters of fuel consumed for each meter of travel, useful for fine-scale measurements.
-
Inverse fuel economy
-
A measurement where higher numeric values signify increased fuel consumption and thus poorer efficiency.
