-
Not practical for regular automotive or aviation fuel consumption evaluation
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does meter per cubic inch (m/in^3) measure?
-
It measures fuel economy as the number of meters traveled per cubic inch of fuel, commonly used in small engine or laboratory testing.
-
Why is petameter per liter (Pm/L) used?
-
Pm/L expresses extremely large-scale distance per fuel volume, suited for theoretical or astronomical range calculations.
-
Can I use this conversion for everyday car fuel efficiency?
-
No, petameter per liter is impractical for ordinary vehicle fuel consumption and is better for theoretical or academic purposes.
Key Terminology
