What does gallon (US)/100 mi measure?

It measures the number of U.S. gallons of fuel consumed per 100 miles traveled, with lower values indicating better fuel efficiency.

How is mile/gallon (US) different from gallon (US)/100 mi?

Mile/gallon (US) expresses how many miles a vehicle travels on one gallon of fuel, while gallon (US)/100 mi shows gallons consumed over a fixed distance of 100 miles.

Why convert gallon (US)/100 mi to mile/gallon (US)?

Converting helps translate fuel use into a distance-per-fuel unit that is more familiar and useful for trip planning and consumer comparisons.
