What does liter per 100 km measure in fuel consumption?

Liter per 100 km quantifies the volume of fuel in liters required to travel 100 kilometers, with lower numbers indicating better fuel efficiency.

Why use meter per US gallon for fuel economy?

Meter per US gallon expresses fuel economy as the distance traveled in meters per volume of fuel measured in US gallons, useful for combining metric distances with US fuel volumes.

Can this tool be used for non-US gallon units?

No, this conversion specifically uses the US liquid gallon definition, and different gallon volumes require different conversion factors.
