What does petameter per liter (Pm/L) measure?

Petameter per liter measures how many petameters can be traveled per litre of fuel, representing distance traveled per unit fuel volume at an extremely large scale.

When should I use liter per meter (L/m)?

Liter per meter is used to quantify the fuel volume consumed for each metre traveled, useful in calculations involving short-distance fuel consumption such as engineering simulations or precise fuel accounting.

Is the petameter per liter unit practical for everyday fuel consumption?

No, due to its very large magnitude, petameter per liter is mainly a theoretical unit and is not used for everyday automotive or aviation measurements.
