What Is This Tool?
This tool converts fuel consumption values from gallon (UK) per 100 miles, a measure used mainly in the UK and historically in imperial measurement systems, to meter per liter (m/L), a metric unit expressing distance traveled per liter of fuel consumed. It provides a detailed metric representation useful for precise engineering and performance analysis.

Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure accurate input values in gallon (UK)/100 miles for correct conversion results
-
Utilize the tool mainly for engineering or specialized vehicle fuel efficiency studies
-
Consider additional conversions when presenting data to general consumers unfamiliar with meter per liter
-
Use the provided examples to verify the conversion process and results
-
Apply this unit conversion when high-resolution distance-per-volume metrics are required
Limitations
-
Conversion relies on precise equivalencies between imperial gallons and liters and miles to meters; slight rounding differences may occur
-
Meter per liter is uncommon outside specialized engineering fields and might be confusing for general audiences
-
Not as intuitive for everyday fuel consumption reporting compared to more familiar units like km/L or L/100 km
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does gallon (UK)/100 miles represent?
-
It is a unit measuring fuel consumption that indicates how many UK gallons of fuel are used to travel 100 miles, commonly used in the UK and historical vehicle data.
-
Why convert from gallon (UK)/100 mi to meter per liter?
-
Converting to meter per liter provides a metric-based distance-per-volume measure with finer resolution, useful for precise engineering and small vehicle efficiency analysis.
-
Is meter per liter commonly used for fuel efficiency by consumers?
-
No, meter per liter is mainly used in engineering contexts and is less familiar to general consumers, who typically use km/L or L/100 km.
Key Terminology
-
gallon (UK)/100 mi
-
A fuel consumption unit expressing the number of imperial gallons used to travel 100 miles, mainly in UK and historical vehicle contexts.
-
meter per liter (m/L)
-
A metric fuel efficiency measure indicating how many meters can be driven per liter of fuel consumed, used in engineering and detailed vehicle performance metrics.
-
fuel consumption
-
The amount of fuel used by a vehicle to cover a certain distance, expressed in various units depending on regional and technical standards.
