What does megajoule per cubic meter measure?

It measures the amount of energy contained in one cubic meter of a substance, typically fuel, expressed in megajoules.

Why convert to gallon (US)/horsepower (metric)-hour?

This conversion helps relate fuel volume consumption directly to mechanical power output, useful in assessing engine fuel efficiency.

Can this conversion be used for all fuels?

It is mainly applicable to fuels where volumetric energy density is known at standard conditions; fuel properties affect conversion relevance.
