What Is This Tool?
This converter translates fuel consumption values from liter/100 km, a standard metric for vehicles, into meter per UK cup, a less common unit expressing distance per UK cup of fuel. It's designed to simplify understanding fuel efficiency in specialized or educational contexts.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the fuel consumption value in liters per 100 kilometers (L/100 km)
-
Select liter/100 km as the input unit and meter/cup (UK) as the output unit
-
Click convert to get the equivalent distance in meters per UK cup of fuel
Key Features
-
Converts metric fuel consumption (L/100 km) to meter per UK cup (a distance per small volume unit)
-
User-friendly interface suitable for experimental and educational purposes
-
Supports fuel efficiency analysis for passenger vehicles, small engines, and portable generators
Examples
-
A vehicle with 5 L/100 km fuel consumption equates to 142,065.60 meters per UK cup
-
Fuel consumption of 10 L/100 km converts to 284,131.21 meters per UK cup
Common Use Cases
-
Regulatory and laboratory testing of fuel efficiency and emissions
-
Estimating fuel budgets and costs for route planning in fleet management
-
Classroom demonstrations to present fuel consumption in small, easily handled units
-
Informal comparisons of fuel range for small engines or portable generators
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure correct unit selection to maintain accuracy during conversion
-
Use the meter/cup (UK) unit primarily for educational or experimental analysis
-
Understand the volume of the UK cup (~284.13 mL) for precise interpretation
-
Remember that meter per UK cup is a reciprocal of volumetric fuel consumption
Limitations
-
Meter/cup (UK) is not a widely recognized industry unit, limiting mainstream applicability
-
Results rely on the exact volume conversion of the UK cup, which may slightly vary
-
Misinterpretation can occur if unit reciprocals are not handled carefully
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does liter/100 km measure?
-
Liter/100 km measures the volume of fuel in liters needed to travel 100 kilometers, with lower numbers indicating better fuel efficiency.
-
Why use meter/cup (UK) as a fuel consumption unit?
-
Meter per UK cup expresses fuel efficiency as distance traveled per UK cup of fuel, which can be useful for small engines, educational demonstrations, and informal comparisons.
-
Is meter/cup (UK) a standard unit in the automotive industry?
-
No, meter/cup (UK) is not a standard industry unit and is mainly used for niche, experimental, or educational purposes.
Key Terminology
-
Liter/100 km [L/100 km]
-
A metric measure indicating liters of fuel consumed to travel 100 kilometers; a lower value means better fuel economy.
-
Meter/cup (UK)
-
A non-standard unit expressing distance in meters per UK cup of fuel consumed, used mainly in education and niche testing.
-
UK Cup
-
A volume measure approximately equal to 284.13 mL, used in converting fuel consumption to meter/cup (UK).
