What Is This Tool?
This tool converts fuel consumption measurements from liter per 100 kilometers, a common metric unit, to meter per US quart, a non-SI unit expressing distance traveled per US liquid quart of fuel. It helps users translate vehicle fuel efficiency data between metric and US customary units.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the fuel consumption value in liters per 100 kilometers.
-
Select the source unit as liter/100 km and the target unit as meter/quart (US).
-
Click the convert button to get the equivalent value in meter per US quart.
-
Review the result to compare or report fuel economy in the desired units.
Key Features
-
Converts fuel consumption from liter/100 km to meter per US quart with a direct conversion rate.
-
Browser-based and simple to use for quick unit translation.
-
Supports fuel economy comparisons across different measurement systems.
-
Includes clear definitions and use cases for each unit.
-
Useful for automotive, small engine, and recreational vehicle fuel reporting.
Examples
-
1 L/100 km is equal to 94,635.29 meter/quart (US).
-
5 L/100 km converts to 473,176.47 meter/quart (US).
Common Use Cases
-
Passenger vehicle fuel-efficiency labeling and technical specifications using metric units.
-
Reporting fuel efficiency for small engines and recreational equipment when fuel is measured in US quarts.
-
Regulatory and laboratory testing for emissions and fuel economy compliance with mixed unit systems.
-
Fleet fuel budgeting and route planning in environments using both metric and US customary units.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure accurate input values for both distance and fuel volume to maintain reliable conversion results.
-
Use this conversion to adapt vehicle fuel economy data for regions where US customary units are preferred.
-
Consider the specific context and unit definitions when interpreting results to avoid confusion with reciprocal metrics like miles per gallon or kilometers per liter.
-
Double-check regulatory requirements if using this tool for compliance to confirm unit acceptance.
Limitations
-
Conversion assumes a standard US liquid quart volume; variations in quart definitions can affect accuracy.
-
Fuel consumption expressed in distance per fuel volume is sensitive to measurement conditions that may influence the outcome.
-
This unit conversion reverses the common fuel economy format, which might cause misunderstandings without proper explanation.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does liter/100 km measure?
-
Liter/100 km indicates how many liters of fuel a vehicle consumes to travel 100 kilometers. Lower values mean better fuel efficiency.
-
Why convert liter/100 km to meter per US quart?
-
This conversion helps express fuel economy in terms relevant to US customary units, facilitating reporting and comparisons where fuel volume is measured in US quarts.
-
Can I use this conversion for regulatory compliance?
-
Yes, it is useful for cross-unit compliance evaluations, but always verify specific regulatory requirements for unit acceptance.
Key Terminology
-
Liter/100 km [L/100 km]
-
A metric fuel consumption measure indicating liters of fuel used per 100 kilometers traveled; lower values represent better fuel efficiency.
-
Meter/quart (US)
-
A measurement unit indicating how many meters a vehicle travels for each US liquid quart of fuel consumed; used for fuel economy in US customary units.
-
Fuel Economy
-
A measure of how efficiently a vehicle uses fuel, often expressed in distance per volume or volume per distance metrics.
