What does mile/gallon (US) measure?

It measures fuel economy as the number of statute miles a vehicle can travel per one U.S. gallon of fuel consumed, expressing distance traveled per fuel volume.

Why use hectometer/liter [hm/L] for fuel consumption?

Hectometer/liter expresses fuel economy in smaller metric increments (100 meters per liter), useful for scooters, short-range tests, and more granular comparisons with metric systems.

Is the conversion from mile/gallon (US) to hm/L exact?

The conversion uses exact unit definitions, but actual mileage may differ because of varying driving conditions.
