What Is This Tool?
This tool converts fuel consumption values expressed in meter per cubic inch (m/in^3), a distance traveled per volume unit mainly used in specialized small-scale engine testing, to liter per 100 kilometers (L/100 km), a standard metric measurement of fuel consumption used widely in passenger vehicles and regulatory contexts.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the fuel consumption value in meter per cubic inch (m/in^3)
-
Select the input unit as meter/cubic inch [m/in^3]
-
Choose liter/100 km [L/100 km] as the output unit
-
Click the convert button to get the corresponding value in L/100 km
-
Review the results for interpretation or further analysis
Key Features
-
Converts from meter per cubic inch (m/in^3) to liter per 100 kilometers (L/100 km)
-
Supports translation of niche fuel consumption units used in engineering and model engines
-
Facilitates comparison between small-scale tests and standard fuel economy data
-
Browser-based and easy to use for quick fuel consumption conversions

Includes clear examples to illustrate conversion outputs
Examples
-
0.001 meter/cubic inch equals approximately 1.6387 liter/100 km
-
0.01 meter/cubic inch equals approximately 16.3871 liter/100 km
Common Use Cases
-
Reporting fuel economy in tests of small or model engines where volumes use cubic inches
-
Converting detailed small-scale fuel consumption results to common metric units for comparison
-
Specifying fuel consumption for model vehicles, RC aircraft, or equipment documented with imperial volume units
-
Providing vehicle fuel consumption information for passenger vehicle labels and technical specifications
-
Supporting regulatory and laboratory tests for emissions and fuel efficiency compliance
-
Assisting fleet fuel budgeting and cost estimation for route planning
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure accurate volume measurements in cubic inches before conversion
-
Use this conversion for translating niche or model engine consumption data to standard units
-
Double-check unit selections to avoid errors in context-specific applications
-
Apply conversions cautiously when scaling from small engines to full-size vehicles
-
Consider regulatory requirements when interpreting converted fuel consumption values
Limitations
-
Meter/cubic inch is a specialized and uncommon unit mainly for niche applications
-
Accurate conversion depends on precise volume measurement and awareness of unit specificity
-
Not suitable for direct use with full-size vehicle fuel consumption without scaling considerations
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does meter per cubic inch (m/in^3) measure?
-
Meter per cubic inch (m/in^3) expresses how many meters a vehicle or engine can travel using one cubic inch of fuel, quantifying fuel economy as distance per unit volume.
-
Why convert meter/cubic inch to liter/100 km?
-
Converting to liter/100 km translates specialized small-scale fuel consumption data into a widely recognized metric unit for easier interpretation and regulatory compliance.
-
Is liter/100 km a measure of fuel efficiency?
-
Yes, liter/100 km indicates the volume of fuel consumed to travel 100 kilometers; lower values represent better fuel efficiency.
Key Terminology
-
Meter/cubic inch [m/in^3]
-
A unit expressing distance traveled per cubic inch of fuel, used in specialized engine and model vehicle testing.
-
Liter/100 km [L/100 km]
-
A metric measure of fuel consumption indicating liters of fuel needed to travel 100 kilometers; common in passenger vehicle fuel economy.
