I’m wondering why you pipped and wrote out all the lookbehinds and lookaheads, the lookahead is non-greedy, unlike the lookbehind, so you could’ve done something like this

(?<=\d) (?=mile|gallon|kg|day)

or if you need both to be non-greedy, I use this more in HTML/CSS after ePub Export, but you could use Keep (\K)

\d+\K (?=mile|gallon|kg|day)
