About Imperial Gallons per Mile

Imperial gallons per mile is the British counterpart, using the 4.54609 L Imperial gallon. 1 Imp gal/mi = 4.54609/1.609344 × 100 = 282.481 L/100km - among the largest fuel-consumption values in practical use, representing large vessels and heavy machinery.

About Liters per Kilometer

Liters per kilometer (L/km) is 100× larger than L/100km, suited to heavy vehicles and industrial machinery. A European family car at 0.07 L/km; a Class 8 semi-truck 0.33-0.40 L/km; an M1 Abrams tank ~1.3 L/km on road, ~4 L/km off-road; a diesel mainline locomotive 5-8 L/km. Australian road trains (200+ t) log fuel in L/km to plan outback depot spacing. A Caterpillar 793F mining dump truck fully laden uses 4-6 L/km. 1 L/km = 100 L/100km.
