What Is This Tool?
This tool converts fuel consumption measurements from gallon (UK) per 100 miles, a common UK imperial unit, to meter per UK cup, a less standard but useful metric for expressing distance traveled per small fuel volume.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the fuel consumption value in gallon (UK)/100 miles
-
Choose the target unit as meter/cup (UK)
-
Click convert to get the equivalent distance per UK cup
-
Use the result to interpret fuel efficiency in smaller, intuitive volume units
Key Features
-
Converts gallon (UK)/100 mi to meter/cup (UK) with a precise conversion factor
-
Useful for comparing vehicle fuel consumption in UK-based or historical contexts
-
Helps express fuel efficiency for small engines or equipment using small volume units
-
Browser-based and easy to use without installation
-
Provides formula and example conversions for clarity
Examples
-
2 gallon (UK)/100 mi converts to 20116.841130956 meter/cup (UK)
-
0.5 gallon (UK)/100 mi converts to 5029.210282739 meter/cup (UK)
Common Use Cases
-
Comparing vehicle fuel consumption in regions using the UK imperial gallon
-
Estimating fuel needs and costs for trips in fleet management
-
Educating students on fuel efficiency using distance per small volume units
-
Testing performance of small engines or portable generators using UK cups
-
Converting UK-specific consumption units for international reporting
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure accurate measurement of the UK cup volume (~284.13 mL) for conversion
-
Use this conversion primarily for informal or educational purposes
-
Cross-check conversions when comparing with standardized units like L/100 km or mpg
-
Consider the context as meter/cup (UK) is not a formally recognized industry standard
Limitations
-
Meter/cup (UK) is not widely standardized or recognized internationally
-
Measurement accuracy depends on the precise volume of the UK cup used
-
Conversion complexity may arise when comparing with more common fuel consumption units
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does gallon (UK)/100 mi measure?
-
It measures fuel consumption as the number of UK gallons of fuel used to travel 100 miles.
-
Why convert to meter/cup (UK)?
-
To express fuel efficiency in terms of distance traveled per a smaller, more intuitive volume unit useful for small engines or educational demonstrations.
-
Can I use meter/cup (UK) in formal reports?
-
No, meter/cup (UK) is not a standardized unit and may not be recognized in formal or international technical settings.
Key Terminology
-
Gallon (UK)/100 mi
-
A unit expressing how many UK imperial gallons of fuel are consumed over 100 miles.
-
Meter/cup (UK)
-
A unit measuring distance in metres traveled per UK cup (about 284.13 mL) of fuel consumed; not a standard industry unit.
-
Fuel Consumption
-
The quantity of fuel used by a vehicle to cover a specified distance.
