What does gallon (US)/horsepower represent?

It is a derived ratio representing the volume of fuel in US gallons consumed per unit of mechanical power output in horsepower.

Why convert gallon (US)/horsepower to cubic meter/joule?

Converting to cubic meter per joule allows for evaluation of fuel consumption as a volume-to-energy ratio, facilitating energy efficiency analysis and cost assessments across different fuels and units.

Does this conversion consider time intervals like hours?

No, the conversion assumes steady-state conditions and does not inherently include time basis unless specified, such as gallons per horsepower-hour.
