About Liters per Mile
Liters per mile (L/mi) combines the SI litre with the statute mile. 1 L/mi = 100/1.609344 = 62.137 L/100km - an extreme consumption scale. A vehicle consuming 1 L/mi burns as much as a car doing 62 L/100km (equivalent to large agricultural machinery or construction equipment). In endurance motorsport, race engineers convert telemetry fuel-flow (L/s) and lap distance (measured in miles) into L/mi for refuelling window calculations. An M1 Abrams tank consuming 3.3 L/km corresponds to 0.053 L/mi. 1 L/mi = 62.137 L/100km.
About US Gallons per Mile
US gallons per mile is for extreme consumption: 1 US gal/mi = 235.215 L/100km. Only tanks, heavy mining equipment, or large ships fall into even the fractional gal/mi range. A Boeing 787 burns ~3.9 US gal/mi total (0.015 gal/mi per seat at 85% load factor, 257 seats). Commercial aircraft fleet-wide emission intensity is sometimes expressed in gal/mi per departure. Oceangoing vessels historically logged fuel in US gal/mi in American regulatory frameworks. 1 US gal/mi = 235.215 L/100km = 1 mpg(US) ÷ 100.
