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 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.
