What Is This Tool?
This unit converter transforms fuel consumption measurements from liter per 100 kilometers to meter per US cup. It helps express vehicle fuel efficiency in terms of distance covered per small fuel volume, which is useful in specific testing and measurement contexts.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the fuel consumption value in liter/100 km.
-
Select 'liter/100 km' as the input unit.
-
Choose 'meter/cup (US)' as the output unit.
-
Click the convert button to see the equivalent value in meter/cup (US).
Key Features
-
Converts fuel consumption values between liter/100 km and meter/cup (US).
-
Supports applications for passenger vehicles, small engines, and portable equipment.
-
Browser-based and easy to use for quick and accurate conversions.
Examples
-
5 L/100 km converts to approximately 118294.12 Meter/cup (US).
-
10 L/100 km converts to approximately 236588.24 Meter/cup (US).
Common Use Cases
-
Fuel-economy labeling and technical specifications for passenger vehicles.
-
Laboratory testing of small engines or model vehicles using cup-sized fuel volumes.
-
Fuel efficiency comparisons for portable equipment like generators or lawn tools.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure accurate volume definition of the US cup (236.588 mL) for precise conversions.
-
Use meter/cup (US) units primarily for small-volume fuel measurements.
-
Refer to standard metric or imperial units when dealing with large vehicle fuel economy to avoid confusion.
Limitations
-
Accuracy depends on the precise volume of the US cup.
-
Meter/cup (US) is less common and might need additional context for general audiences.
-
Unit is better suited for small fuel volumes and may be less intuitive for standard passenger vehicle consumption.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does liter/100 km measure?
-
It measures the volume of fuel in liters required to travel 100 kilometers, where lower values indicate better fuel efficiency.
-
Why use meter/cup (US) units?
-
Meter/cup (US) expresses distance traveled per one US customary cup of fuel, useful for small engines or devices dispensing small fuel amounts.
-
Is meter/cup (US) widely used for passenger vehicles?
-
No, it is more practical for small volume fuel measurements and less common for typical vehicle fuel economy.
Key Terminology
-
Liter/100 km [L/100 km]
-
A measure of fuel consumption indicating liters of fuel used per 100 kilometers traveled.
-
Meter/cup (US)
-
A fuel economy unit expressing the distance in meters traveled per one US customary cup of fuel.
-
Fuel consumption
-
The amount of fuel a vehicle uses to travel a certain distance, often expressed in volume per distance units.
