What Is This Tool?
This tool converts fuel consumption measurements from liter per 100 kilometers (L/100 km), a common metric unit for vehicle fuel economy, to meter per cubic yard (m/yd^3), a hybrid unit used when measuring distance in meters and fuel volume in cubic yards.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the fuel consumption value measured in liter/100 km.
-
Select liter/100 km as the input unit and meter/cubic yard as the output unit.
-
Click the convert button to get the equivalent value in m/yd^3.
-
Use the result to support fuel efficiency or logistics calculations involving mixed-unit records.
Key Features
-
Converts L/100 km to m/yd^3 using an established conversion factor.
-
Supports fuel consumption analysis across different unit systems.
-
Ideal for scenarios involving metric distance and imperial fuel volume units.
-
Browser-based tool requiring no installation.
-
Provides quick and easy calculations for fleet and logistics planning.
Examples
-
Convert 2 L/100 km to meter/cubic yard: 2 × 76455485.816778 = 152910971.633556 m/yd^3.
-
Convert 0.5 L/100 km to meter/cubic yard: 0.5 × 76455485.816778 = 38227742.908389 m/yd^3.
Common Use Cases
-
Analyzing passenger vehicle fuel economy for reports and labels.
-
Planning delivery routes by correlating distance in metres with fuel volumes in cubic yards.
-
Managing fuel inventory in industries such as forestry and biomass logistics.
-
Normalizing data records that include mixed units of distance and fuel volume.
-
Supporting regulatory and emission compliance testing involving hybrid unit systems.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure consistent measurement conditions when converting between units.
-
Handle the large conversion factor with care to avoid calculation errors.
-
Be aware that meter/cubic yard is a non-SI hybrid unit, requiring careful unit management.
-
Double-check results when working with mixed-unit datasets for accuracy.
-
Use this conversion primarily for fuel consumption scenarios involving bulk solid fuels measured in cubic yards.
Limitations
-
Meter/cubic yard is a hybrid unit not part of the SI system, which can cause confusion.
-
The large conversion factor reflects differences in measurement scales and may affect precision.
-
Assumes uniform fuel density and consistent measuring standards between liters and cubic yards.
-
Not suitable for all types of fuel consumption data, especially if units do not match those described.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does liter/100 km measure?
-
Liter per 100 kilometers measures the volume of fuel in liters needed to travel 100 kilometers, indicating vehicle fuel efficiency.
-
When should I use meter per cubic yard units?
-
Meter per cubic yard is useful when distance is measured in meters but fuel volume is tracked as cubic yards, such as in forestry and biomass logistics.
-
Is meter per cubic yard an SI unit?
-
No, meter per cubic yard is a non-SI hybrid unit combining metric distance and imperial volume measurements.
Key Terminology
-
Liter/100 km [L/100 km]
-
A metric unit expressing the volume of fuel consumed to travel 100 kilometers, with lower values indicating better fuel efficiency.
-
Meter/cubic yard [m/yd^3]
-
A non-SI hybrid unit expressing distance in meters per unit volume of fuel in cubic yards, used in mixed-unit measurement contexts.
-
Fuel consumption
-
The amount of fuel used by a vehicle or equipment over a specified distance or operational period.
