{{Main|Scandinavian mile}}

The Scandinavian mile (''{{lang|no|mil}}'') remains in common use in Norway and Sweden, where it has meant precisely 10&nbsp;km since metrication in 1889.{{sfnp|Rowlett|2018|loc="mil 4"}} It is used in informal situations and in measurements of fuel consumption, which are often given as litres per ''{{lang|no|mil}}''. In formal situations (such as official road signs) only kilometres are given.

The Swedish mile was standardised as 36,000 Swedish feet or {{convert|10.6884|km|mi|abbr=off}} in 1649; before that it varied by [[provinces of Sweden|province]] from about 6 to 14.485&nbsp;km.{{sfnp|Rowlett|2018|loc="mil 4"}}

Before metrication, the Norwegian mile was {{convert|11.298|km|mi|abbr=off}}.

The traditional Finnish ''{{lang|fi|peninkulma}}'' was translated as ''{{langx|sv|mil}}'' and also set equal to 10&nbsp;km during metrication in 1887, but is much less commonly used.
