What does meter per cubic yard (m/yd^3) measure in fuel consumption?

Meter per cubic yard expresses distance in metres traveled per cubic yard of fuel consumed, blending SI length units and imperial volume units for fuel.

Why is gallon (US) per mile a preferred measure for fuel consumption?

Gallon (US) per mile directly quantifies fuel volume used per unit distance, commonly used in transportation to budget fuel costs and compare efficiency.

Can I use this converter to compare fuel consumption for vehicles using different fuel types?

While useful for volume-based comparisons, differences in fuel type and measurement accuracy may affect the exactness of conversions.
