What does 1 nautical mile/gallon (US) represent?

It represents the distance traveled in nautical miles using one US liquid gallon of fuel, common for maritime and aviation fuel economy.

Why use dekameter per liter (dam/L) as a unit?

Dekameter per liter measures fuel efficiency in metric distance increments (10 meters) per liter of fuel, useful in engineering and scientific contexts.

Can I use this conversion for gallons other than US gallons?

No, this conversion is specific to US gallons and may not apply accurately to other gallon standards.
