About Liters per Nautical Mile

Liters per nautical mile (L/nmi) is the maritime fuel consumption unit. One nautical mile = 1.852 km exactly (one arcminute of latitude). A large container ship (400 m, 200,000 DWT) at 18 knots consumes 50,000-100,000 L/nmi of heavy fuel oil; a RoPax ferry 800-3,000 L/nmi; a RIB patrol boat at 25 knots 30-80 L/nmi. Slow-steaming reduces L/nmi by 30-40% due to the cubic drag-speed relationship. Bunker cost per nmi = L/nmi × fuel price/litre. 1 L/nmi = 100/1.852 ≈ 53.996 L/100km.

About Milliliters per Kilometer

A milliliter per kilometer (mL/km) equals 0.1 L/100km. A compact car at 7 L/100km uses 70 mL/km; a 50cc scooter at 2.5 L/100km uses 25 mL/km; a loaded semi at 35 L/100km uses 350 mL/km. This scale makes proportionality across very different vehicle categories clear without fractional L/100km values. In motorsport, a Formula 3 car consuming ~55 mL/km over a 5.8 km circuit burns ~319 mL/lap, enabling sub-lap pit-stop window planning. CNG and LPG comparison reports also use mL/km of liquid-fuel equivalent. 1 mL/km = 0.1 L/100km.
