What does gallon (US)/100 mi measure?

It measures fuel consumption as the number of US gallons used per 100 miles driven, with lower values indicating better fuel efficiency.

Why use hectometer per liter (hm/L) for fuel economy?

Hm/L provides a convenient distance-per-volume measure at a finer scale, useful for small vehicles or localized testing using 100-meter units.

Can I directly compare gallon/100 mi and hm/L values?

Direct comparison requires care due to differing unit scales and conversion factors; the converter translates values appropriately for analysis.

What Is This Tool?

This tool converts fuel consumption values from gallon (US) per 100 miles—used to measure fuel used over fixed distances—into hectometer per liter (hm/L), a unit expressing how far a vehicle can travel per liter. It supports automotive engineering, testing, and localized fuel economy evaluations.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the fuel consumption value in gallon (US)/100 mi format.
Select the desired target unit, hectometer per liter [hm/L].
Click on the convert button to obtain the equivalent fuel economy value.
Review the converted result in hm/L, which indicates distance per liter of fuel.
Use the value for planning, analysis, or reporting in vehicle fuel consumption contexts.

Key Features

Converts large-distance fuel consumption units (gallon (US)/100 mi) into a distance-per-volume format (hm/L).
Supports unit conversion relevant for vehicle fleet management and regulatory testing.
Provides clear examples illustrating the conversion process.
Browser-based and user-friendly for quick fuel consumption translations.
Suitable for analyzing small vehicle fuel economy using granular distance units.

Examples

1 gallon (US)/100 mi converts to approximately 425.14 hm/L.
0.5 gallon (US)/100 mi converts to approximately 212.57 hm/L.

Common Use Cases

Comparing fuel efficiency of different cars or fleets using fixed-distance measurements.
Converting fuel consumption data for trip planning or emissions estimation.
Reporting fuel consumption in regulatory documents with fixed-distance units.
Assessing fuel economy for small vehicles or scooters using 100-meter increments.
Conducting localized fuel-consumption studies or short-range vehicle tests.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure consistency by carefully selecting the appropriate unit depending on the vehicle and test scale.
Use the converter to translate consumption measures when comparing large vehicles and small vehicles.
Be aware that fuel quality and measuring conditions may affect conversion results.
Consider the scale differences between gallons and liters and between miles and hectometers when analyzing data.
Refer to examples for a better understanding of how unit values convert.

Limitations

Conversion involves different unit scales which require cautious interpretation.
Fuel quality and measurement variability can impact accuracy of conversions.
The unit systems differ in volume and distance bases making direct comparisons non-intuitive.
Users unfamiliar with these units may find the conversion less straightforward.
