Why is the conversion result so large?

Because nautical mile/gallon measures distance per fuel, and liter/100 km measures fuel used per distance, the conversion produces large numeric factors.

Can I use this conversion for direct vehicle performance comparison?

No, the units apply to different contexts and measurement types; it is best for reporting and compliance purposes.

Where is nautical mile/gallon (US) commonly used?

It is used in maritime transport, recreational boating, and coastal aviation where fuel volumes are measured in US gallons.

Examples

1 nautical mile/gallon (US) converts to approximately 204.26 L/100 km.
0.5 nautical mile/gallon (US) converts to about 102.13 L/100 km.

Common Use Cases

Estimating fuel needs and range for small recreational boats or yachts using nautical miles.
Fuel planning and efficiency comparison for light coastal aircraft operating with US gallon measurements.
Fleet fuel budgeting and regulatory compliance involving standard metric fuel consumption.
Converting maritime or aviation fuel efficiency metrics into vehicle regulatory labeling formats.

Tips & Best Practices

Understand that the units represent different measurement frameworks: distance per fuel versus fuel per distance.
Use the conversion for reporting and compliance rather than direct performance comparison.
Always verify unit selections before converting to ensure accurate results.
Consider context differences, such as vehicle types and operating environments, when interpreting results.

Limitations

Measures differ fundamentally—nautical mile/gallon is distance over fuel, liter/100 km is fuel over distance—leading to large numerical conversion values.
Conversion may not reflect meaningful efficiency comparisons due to different operational contexts.
Primarily intended for regulatory reporting and translating between unit systems, not detailed performance analysis.

Key Terminology

Nautical mile/gallon (US): A fuel economy unit indicating how many nautical miles can be traveled using one US liquid gallon of fuel.
Liter/100 km [L/100 km]: A metric fuel consumption measure showing the liters of fuel needed to travel 100 kilometers; lower values indicate better efficiency.
Fuel consumption: The amount of fuel used to travel a certain distance, often expressed in different units depending on context.
