What does kilojoule per cubic meter measure?

It measures the amount of energy in kilojoules contained in one cubic meter of a fuel or gas, representing volumetric energy density.

Why use gallon (US)/horsepower (metric)-hour as a unit?

This unit expresses the volume of fuel in US gallons consumed per metric horsepower over one hour, useful for engine fuel efficiency and consumption comparisons.

Can this conversion reflect actual fuel efficiency?

While it aids in estimating fuel consumption, actual efficiency depends on factors like fuel quality and engine performance beyond this conversion.
