About Kilometers per US Gallon

Kilometers per US gallon (km/US gal) appears in regions where metric road distances coexist with US gallon fuel pricing - the US-Mexico border zone, parts of Latin America, and the Caribbean. 1 km/US gal = 1/3.785411784 km/L = 0.264172 km/L. A typical car at 12.75 km/L = 48.3 km/US gal; a scooter at 35 km/L = 132 km/US gal. Mexican Federal District fleet databases and Central American logistics records use this unit when US gallon fuel costs are referenced in kilometre-based route planning. 1 km/US gal = 0.264172 km/L.

About Nautical Miles per Liter

Nautical miles per liter (nmi/L) quantifies how far a vessel travels on one liter of fuel. 1 nmi/L = 1.852 km/L. Typical values: sailing yacht under auxiliary diesel ~0.2-0.5 nmi/L; fast 35-knot catamaran ferry ~0.003-0.008 nmi/L; outboard RIB at planning speed ~0.01-0.04 nmi/L. A sportsboat with a 200 L tank at 0.08 nmi/L has ~16 nmi theoretical range, reduced by 30-40% safety margin. Maritime energy efficiency programs under MARPOL Annex VI reference nmi/L before normalising for cargo capacity. 1 nmi/L = 1.852 km/L.
