This volume of natural gas has the same energy content as one US gallon of gasoline (based on lower heating values: 900 BTU/cu ft (9.3 kWh/m 3) of natural gas and 114,000 BTU/US gal (8.8 kWh/L) for gasoline). [22] One GGE of CNG pressurized at 2,400 psi (17 MPa) is 0.77 cubic feet (22 litres; 5.8 US gallons).
Conversions between units in the metric system are defined by their prefixes (for example, 1 kilogram = 1000 grams, 1 milligram = 0.001 grams) and are thus not listed in this article. Exceptions are made if the unit is commonly known by another name (for example, 1 micron = 10 −6 metre).
The standard liter per minute (SLM or SLPM) is a unit of (molar or) mass flow rate of a gas at standard conditions for temperature and pressure (STP), which is most commonly practiced in the United States, whereas European practice revolves around the normal litre per minute (NLPM). [1]
The displayed fuel economy is 18.1 km/L (5.5 L/100 km; 43 mpg ‑US). A Briggs and Stratton Flyer from 1916. Originally an experiment in creating a fuel-saving automobile in the United States, the vehicle weighed only 135 lb (61.2 kg) and was an adaptation of a small gasoline engine originally designed to power a bicycle.

The metric equivalent flow factor (K v) is calculated using metric units: =, where [3]. K v is the flow factor (expressed in m 3 /h), Q is the flowrate (expressed in m 3 /h), SG is the specific gravity of the fluid (for water = 1),
The British imperial gallon (frequently called simply "gallon") is defined as exactly 4.54609 dm 3 (4.54609 litres). [4] It is used in some Commonwealth countries, and until 1976 was defined as the volume of water at 62 °F (16.67 °C) [ 5 ] [ 6 ] whose mass is 10 pounds (4.5359237 kg).

Note that the second article says imperial gallons for the gasoline/diesel rations even as it converts the 65-liter figure to US gallons (65 liters is 14.3 imperial gallons, 17.2 US gallons) - and the prices (in local currency) as shown are very round numbers, unexpected if it were a conversion to a different unit size.
