What does nautical mile/gallon (US) measure?

It measures fuel economy expressed as the distance in nautical miles traveled per one US liquid gallon of fuel, commonly used in maritime and aviation navigation.

Why use gigameter/liter [Gm/L] as a fuel efficiency unit?

Gigameter/liter quantifies distance per liter on an extremely large scale, making it useful for theoretical, educational, or interplanetary distance comparisons rather than practical everyday use.

Is this conversion practical for normal vehicle fuel consumption?

No, because gigameter/liter represents an extremely large distance scale and nautical mile/gallon (US) is regionally specific, this conversion serves mostly educational or theoretical purposes.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure you use consistent unit definitions to avoid errors in conversion
Use this tool for educational or theoretical comparisons rather than everyday fuel efficiency analysis
Understand that nautical mile/gallon is specific to US fuel volume conventions and regional usage
Consider the context of your measurement before applying conversions to large-distance units

Limitations

Gigameter per liter is impractical for common fuel consumption due to its extreme scale
Nautical mile per gallon (US) applies regionally and depends on US liquid gallon definitions
Conversion does not account for real-world variations in fuel density or efficiency changes under different conditions
