Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does gigameter per liter represent?
-
It expresses the distance traveled in gigameters per liter of fuel, used for very large distance and small volume fuel efficiency comparisons.
-
Why use nautical mile per gallon (US) as a unit?
-
It is commonly used in maritime and aviation contexts where distances are measured in nautical miles and fuel volume in US gallons.
-
Is this conversion practical for everyday vehicle fuel economy?
-
No, gigameter per liter is primarily theoretical and illustrative, not practical for typical fuel consumption measurements.
Key Terminology
-
Gigameter per liter (Gm/L)
-
A fuel efficiency measure expressing distance in gigameters traveled per liter of fuel.
-
Nautical mile per gallon (US)
-
A fuel economy unit indicating how many nautical miles are traveled per US liquid gallon of fuel.
