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.

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.
