It appears in some international academic fuel cell papers and comparative combustion analysis where authors mix SI distance with US fuel weight measurements. 1 m/lb ≈2.205 × 10⁻³ km/kg ≈1.094 yd/lb.
About Feet per pound
The foot per pound (ft/lb) equals ≈6.720 × 10⁻⁴ km/kg, the smallest practical mass-efficiency unit.
