What does mile/gallon (US) measure?

Mile/gallon (US) measures fuel economy as the number of statute miles a vehicle can travel per one U.S. gallon of fuel consumed.

Why use liter/meter [L/m] as a fuel consumption unit?

Liter/meter quantifies the volume of fuel consumed per metre travelled, useful for short-distance calculations and engineering simulations requiring metric units.

Can this tool be used for fuel economy ratings outside the U.S.?

This tool converts mile/gallon (US) values into liter/meter, aiding translation of U.S. ratings to metric units, but is intended for applications involving these specific units.
