What does kilometer per US gallon measure?

It measures the distance in kilometres a vehicle can travel using one US liquid gallon of fuel, indicating fuel efficiency based on distance per unit volume.

Why convert kilometer/gallon (US) to dekameter per liter?

Converting to dekameter per liter standardizes fuel consumption into a metric distance-per-volume unit, facilitating scientific, engineering, or fleet data analysis.

Is the dekameter a common unit for fuel economy?

No, dekameter is mainly used in scientific or engineering contexts rather than in everyday vehicle fuel economy measurements.

Key Terminology

Kilometer per US gallon: A fuel consumption unit expressing the kilometers a vehicle travels with one US liquid gallon of fuel.
Dekameter per liter [dam/L]: A metric fuel economy unit indicating how many dekameters (10 meter multiples) are traveled for each liter of fuel consumed.
Fuel consumption: A measure of the amount of fuel used by a vehicle to travel a certain distance.

Quick Knowledge Check

What does kilometer per US gallon represent?

Fuel volume per distance traveled

Distance traveled per US gallon of fuel

Distance in miles per liter

The unit dekameter per liter [dam/L] measures fuel consumption as:

Liters of fuel per 10 meters traveled

Dekameters traveled per liter of fuel

Gallons per kilometer traveled

Why might rounding affect conversion results between these units?

Because distance values can be rounded when converting

Because fuel volumes are exactly equal in US gallons and liters

Because dekameter is not related to length
