Why use gigameter per liter as a unit?

Gigameter per liter is used for very large-distance fuel efficiency comparisons or theoretical applications involving interplanetary distances and scaling lessons.

Can I use this converter for everyday vehicle fuel economy?

Due to the extreme scale difference, gigameter per liter is not practical for everyday fuel consumption analysis but is valuable for theoretical and educational purposes.
