What Is This Tool?
This converter transforms fuel consumption measurements from meter per UK cup, a unit representing distance traveled per UK cup of fuel, into hectometer per liter, which expresses how many hundred-meter segments can be driven per liter of fuel.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in meter/cup (UK) to convert
-

Key Features
-
Converts non-standard meter/cup (UK) units into standardized hm/L units
-
Facilitates comparisons of fuel economy across various measurement systems
-
Includes practical examples for straightforward understanding
-
Browser-based and easy to use without installation
Examples
-
10 meter/cup (UK) converts to 0.35195 hm/L
-
100 meter/cup (UK) converts to 3.5195 hm/L
Common Use Cases
-
Evaluating fuel efficiency of small engines and portable generators in meters per UK cup
-
Educational demonstrations expressing fuel use in small-volume units
-
Converting informal experimental values into standardized fuel economy units for reporting
-
Comparing fuel consumption in short-range or local vehicle studies using 100-meter increments
Tips & Best Practices
-
Use this conversion for experimental or informal fuel consumption data involving UK cup volumes
-
Apply unit conversions carefully due to the approximate nature of the UK cup volume
-
Consider using the result for localized or short-range fuel economy reporting
-
Verify input values for consistency, acknowledging potential variations in cup volume measurements
Limitations
-
Meter/cup (UK) is not a standard unit and relies on an approximate volume of about 284.13 mL
-
Differences in fuel density, temperature, or cup volume may affect precision
-
Hectometer per liter is rare and mostly suited for specific short-distance fuel consumption analysis
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does meter/cup (UK) measure?
-
It measures the distance traveled in meters per UK cup of fuel, representing fuel efficiency as a distance per volume unit based on a small fuel volume.
-
Why use hectometer per liter [hm/L]?
-
Hectometer per liter provides a fuel economy measure indicating how many 100-meter segments a vehicle can travel per liter of fuel, useful for fine-scale or short-range evaluations.
-
Can I directly convert meter/cup (UK) to kilometers per liter?
-
While this tool converts meter/cup (UK) to hm/L, you can derive km/L by multiplying the hm/L value by 0.1, since 1 hm/L equals 0.1 km/L.
Key Terminology
-
Meter/cup (UK)
-
A unit that quantifies distance traveled in meters per UK cup (approximately 284.13 mL) of fuel, used mainly in informal experiments and small engine studies.
-
Hectometer/liter [hm/L]
-
A fuel consumption unit indicating the number of 100-meter increments traveled per liter of fuel, commonly applied in short-range fuel efficiency assessments.
-
Fuel Consumption
-
A measure of how much fuel a vehicle uses to travel a certain distance, often expressed in units of distance per volume.
