What Is This Tool?
This tool converts fuel consumption values from meter per UK cup, a non-standard unit expressing distance per small volume of fuel, into gallon (US) per 100 miles, a standardized measure used for vehicle fuel consumption. It helps translate informal or experimental fuel range data into widely recognized regulatory and engineering metrics.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the fuel consumption value in meter per UK cup.
-
Select the input unit: meter/cup (UK).
-
Choose the output unit: gallon (US)/100 mi.
-
Click convert to get the equivalent fuel consumption.
Key Features
-
Accurate conversion from meter/cup (UK) to gallon (US)/100 mi.
-
Suitable for automotive, emissions testing, and experimental data.
-
Browser-based and easy-to-use interface.
Examples
-
1 meter/cup (UK) equals 12079.66 gallon (US)/100 mi.
-
0.5 meter/cup (UK) equals 6039.83 gallon (US)/100 mi.
Common Use Cases
-
Describing fuel range of small engines or portable generators using meter/cup (UK).
-
Classroom experiments expressing fuel efficiency in distance per small fuel volume.
-
Converting informal fuel efficiency results to standard automotive metrics.
-
Budgeting and operational planning by comparing vehicle fuel consumption.
-
Reporting fuel consumption in regulatory and emissions testing documents.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure accurate distance and volume measurements when using meter/cup (UK).
-
Use this tool to translate experimental data into standardized units for wider applicability.
-
Be aware of the non-standard nature of meter/cup (UK) to avoid misinterpretation.
-
Double-check conversions when applying to official reports or compliance tasks.
Limitations
-
Meter/cup (UK) is not an industry-standard unit and may cause confusion without proper context.
-
Conversion depends on an exact UK cup volume (~284.13 mL) and precise distance measurements.
-
Resulting values can be very large and not intuitive without further normalization.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is meter/cup (UK) used for?
-
Meter/cup (UK) measures distance traveled per UK cup of fuel consumed, often used in informal or experimental settings to express fuel efficiency in small volume units.
-
How does gallon (US)/100 mi relate to fuel economy?
-
Gallon (US)/100 mi indicates the number of US gallons consumed per 100 miles driven; lower values mean better fuel efficiency. It is commonly used in vehicle testing and regulation.
-
Why convert from meter/cup (UK) to gallon (US)/100 mi?
-
Converting helps relate experimental or informal fuel consumption data into standardized, widely recognized metrics used in automotive engineering and regulatory compliance.
Key Terminology
-
Meter/cup (UK)
-
A non-standard unit expressing distance traveled per UK cup (approximately 284.13 mL) of fuel consumed, used mainly in informal or experimental measures of fuel efficiency.
-
Gallon (US)/100 mi
-
A standard unit of fuel consumption indicating how many US gallons of fuel are used for every 100 miles driven, commonly used in vehicle emissions and fuel economy testing.
