What Is This Tool?
This tool allows converting fuel economy measurements from kilometer per liter (km/L) into meter per US cup, a unit expressing distance traveled per small fuel volume. It helps translate large-scale vehicle fuel consumption into practical units for small engines and lab tests.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the fuel consumption value in kilometer per liter (km/L).
-
Select kilometer/liter as the input unit and meter/cup (US) as the output unit.
-
Click convert to see the equivalent distance per US cup.
-
Use results for analysis of small fuel volume consumption.
Key Features
-
Converts fuel efficiency from km/L to meter per US customary cup.
-
Utilizes precise conversion factors based on exact US cup volume (236.588 mL).
-
Suitable for small engine testing, portable equipment, and lab measurements.
-
Browser-based and easy to use without installation.
Examples
-
5 km/L converts to approximately 1182.94 meter/cup (US).
-
0.1 km/L converts to roughly 23.66 meter/cup (US).
Common Use Cases
-
Comparing fuel efficiency of small engines or model vehicles using cup-sized fuel volumes.
-
Informal demonstrations of fuel consumption for generators or lawn equipment.
-
Converting small-scale fuel measurements to standard units for reporting or analysis.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure accurate input values in km/L for reliable conversion results.
-
Use this conversion mainly for small volume fuel tests rather than regular vehicle assessments.
-
Refer to precise US cup volume when comparing multiple fuel economy measurements.
Limitations
-
Accuracy depends on the exact volume of the US customary cup (236.588 mL).
-
Meter/cup (US) is less common for everyday vehicle fuel economy comparisons.
-
Primarily applicable for small volume fuel measurements where liters are too large a unit.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does kilometer per liter (km/L) measure?
-
It measures the distance in kilometers a vehicle can travel using one liter of fuel, indicating fuel efficiency.
-
Why convert km/L to meter per US cup?
-
To compare fuel consumption using smaller fuel volumes, useful for small engines and laboratory tests.
-
Is meter per US cup commonly used for regular cars?
-
No, it is mostly used for small volume fuel measurements and less common for everyday vehicle fuel economy.
