What is meter/cup (UK) in fuel consumption terms?

Meter/cup (UK) measures distance travelled per UK cup of fuel consumed, serving as an informal metric of fuel efficiency based on a small fuel volume.

How does gallon (US)/mile differ from miles per gallon (MPG)?

Gallon (US)/mile represents fuel volume consumed per mile and is the reciprocal of MPG, which is miles travelled per gallon of fuel.

Why is the conversion factor from meter/cup (UK) to gallon (US)/mile so large?

Because meter/cup (UK) is distance per volume and gallon (US)/mile is volume per distance, the units are reciprocals, resulting in a large conversion factor.

Convert Meter/cup (UK) to Gallon (US)/mile Fuel Consumption

Use this online converter to change fuel efficiency values from meter per UK cup to gallon per mile, translating between informal distance-per-volume and standard volume-per-distance metrics.

What Is This Tool?

This unit converter transforms fuel consumption measurements from meter per UK cup to gallon per US mile. It helps convert a distance-based informal fuel usage figure into a conventional metric volume-based consumption rate.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the fuel consumption value expressed in meter per UK cup
Select the input unit as meter/cup (UK) and output unit as gallon (US)/mile
Click the convert button to get the equivalent fuel consumption in gallon per mile
Interpret the result as the volume of fuel used per mile traveled

Key Features

Converts non-standard fuel efficiency unit meter/cup (UK) into gallon (US)/mile
Facilitates translation between distance-per-volume and volume-per-distance units
Supports practical use in automotive, small engine testing, and environmental contexts
Easy-to-use, browser-based interface suitable for quick conversions
Includes built-in conversion factor based on UK cup volume (≈ 284.13 mL)

Examples

1 meter/cup (UK) converts to approximately 120.80 gallon (US)/mile
0.5 meter/cup (UK) equals about 60.40 gallon (US)/mile

Common Use Cases

Describing engine range in distance per small UK cup of fuel for informal tests
Converting experimental fuel use data to widely used consumption metrics
Calculating operating fuel costs per mile for vehicles or fleets
Comparing fuel efficiency among different equipment for route optimization
Estimating fuel emissions per mile by linking consumption with fuel carbon content

Tips & Best Practices

Always verify units before conversion to avoid misinterpretation due to reciprocal relationships
Use the tool for informal or experimental data where meter/cup (UK) units are recorded
Convert results into more common metrics like mpg or km/L for reporting or comparison
Keep in mind the UK cup volume approximation when precision is critical

Limitations

Meter/cup (UK) is not a standardized unit and depends on an approximate UK cup volume
Conversion factor is large because units represent reciprocal measures of fuel consumption
Misapplication of reciprocal conversion can cause significant errors
May not be suitable for official fuel efficiency reporting or regulatory purposes
