Why is petameter per liter used if it is so large?

It is mainly used for theoretical or astronomical distance calculations where extremely large scales are involved, such as interstellar mission design.

Can I use this unit for everyday vehicle fuel efficiency?

No, petameter per liter is not practical for ordinary vehicle measurements and is reserved for conceptual or academic exercises.

How do I convert from petameter per liter to meter per liter?

Multiply the petameter per liter value by 1,000,000,000,000,000 to get the equivalent meter per liter measurement.
