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.
About Microliters per Kilometer
A microliter per kilometer (µL/km) equals 10⁻⁴ L/100km - a unit reserved for laboratory engine testing and fuel cell research. A car consuming 7 L/100km corresponds to 70,000 µL/km, illustrating why µL/km is used only for scientific contexts: GDI injectors deliver 10-50 µL per injection event; engine oil blowby consumption is measured in 50-500 µL/km; hydrogen fuel cell prototype comparisons use µL-equivalent/km. Single-cylinder research engines log fuel use in µL/shot to map combustion efficiency across load sweeps. 1 µL/km = 0.0001 L/100km.
