What does meter/gallon (US) measure?

Meter per US gallon represents the distance traveled measured in meters for each US liquid gallon of fuel consumed, combining metric distance with imperial volume units.

Why convert meter/gallon (US) to dekameter/liter?

Conversion to dekameter/liter translates fuel economy into fully metric units, facilitating comparisons, scientific reporting, and unifying various datasets.

When should I be cautious using this conversion?

Be mindful of the gallon definition used, potential rounding errors, and the uncommon nature of dekameter/liter in general consumer contexts.
