Yes. One of the usual YT channels had this interesting picture. Gas mileage is miles per gallon. Or in this case, do it the European way: l/100km. The unit of that is an area. Typically a rather small one, ca 0.1mm^2.

That's the area of a trench you have to dig along your path if you want to supply your car from the trench instead of your gas tank.



That doesn’t make any sense to me. The amount of fuel a trench can hold is its volume, not its area.


Probably means cross-sectional area.
