What does gallon (US)/horsepower measure?

It is a ratio expressing fuel volume in US gallons per unit of mechanical power in horsepower, often used with time to represent fuel consumption relative to power output.

Why convert gallon (US)/horsepower to Btu (th)/cubic foot?

Converting helps translate volumetric fuel consumption into thermal energy content, aiding in energy analysis, engine efficiency evaluation, and fuel quality comparisons.

Can I directly compare values without considering time basis?

No, because the conversion often assumes an implicit time basis, so understanding operational durations is important for proper interpretation.
