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 US Gallons per 100 Miles

US gallons per 100 miles is the volumetric consumption figure displayed alongside mpg on the EPA Monroney fuel-economy label on all new US vehicles since 2013. A smaller number means a more efficient car. At $4/gal, gal/100mi × 4 gives the dollar fuel cost per 100 miles. Ranges: 1.5-2 gal/100mi for efficient compacts (50-67 mpg); 2.5-3.5 for mainstream sedans (28-40 mpg); 4-6 for crossovers/light trucks (17-25 mpg). 1 US gal/100mi = 3.785411784/1.609344 = 2.3521 L/100km.
