What does gallon (US)/100 mi measure?

It measures the number of US gallons of fuel consumed to drive 100 miles, indicating fuel use over a fixed distance.

Why convert to nautical mile/gallon (US)?

This helps plan and compare fuel economy for vessels or aircraft that navigate using nautical miles, where fuel is measured in US gallons.

Can I use UK gallons for this conversion?

No, this conversion is specific to US liquid gallons; UK gallons require different conversion factors.

Does this tool reflect real-world fuel efficiency exactly?

No, real-world conditions may affect fuel economy beyond what the formula or conversion accounts for.

What Is This Tool?

This tool converts fuel consumption values from gallon (US) per 100 miles, a land-based vehicle fuel metric, into nautical mile per US gallon, a unit used primarily in maritime and aviation navigation to express fuel economy.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the fuel consumption value in gallon (US) per 100 miles
Select 'gallon (US)/100 mi' as the input unit
Choose 'nautical mile/gallon (US)' as the output unit
Click the convert button to get the equivalent fuel economy in nautical miles per gallon
Use the result for fuel planning or operational comparisons in maritime or aviation contexts

Key Features

Converts fuel consumption from gallon (US) per 100 miles to nautical mile per US gallon
Supports planning for maritime, coastal aviation, and recreational boating fuel usage
Provides unit translation for comparing fuel efficiency across land and nautical distance units
Browser-based and easy to use without any installation
Offers example conversions for quick reference

Examples

2 gallon (US)/100 mi converts to approximately 173.6785 nautical mile/gallon (US)
0.5 gallon (US)/100 mi converts to about 43.4196 nautical mile/gallon (US)

Common Use Cases

Comparing vehicle fuel consumption for budgeting and operational planning over fixed distances
Estimating range and fuel needed for small boats using nautical chart distances
Fuel efficiency assessment and planning for light seaplanes under US fuel volume standards
Reporting fuel consumption in regulatory contexts requiring units per fixed distance
Planning fuel usage for coastal vessel operations where navigation uses nautical miles

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure consistent use of US gallon and nautical mile definitions for accurate conversion
Use this conversion for comparability between land-based and maritime or aviation fuel economy units
Apply this tool primarily for planning and comparison, considering real-world operation may vary
Verify unit selections carefully to avoid mixing statute miles with nautical miles
Leverage example values to validate your input and understand output meanings

Limitations

Conversion depends on precise definitions: statue miles vs nautical miles differ by factor 1.15078
Assumes use of US liquid gallons; other gallon types are not supported and need separate conversion
Real-world fuel economy may differ due to varying operational conditions beyond this static conversion
