What does mile/gallon (US) measure?

It measures the number of statute miles a vehicle can travel per one U.S. gallon of fuel consumed, representing fuel economy commonly used in the United States.

Why use gigameter/liter [Gm/L] for fuel efficiency?

Gm/L is useful for comparing or scaling fuel efficiency over extremely large distances and very small fuel volumes, especially in theoretical or educational contexts.

Can I use gigameter/liter for everyday vehicle fuel economy?

No, gigameter/liter is mainly illustrative and not practical for everyday vehicles due to the unit's extremely large scale.
