What Is This Tool?
This converter transforms fuel consumption measurements from meter/cup (UK), a distance traveled per UK cup of fuel, into the widely recognized liter per 100 kilometers (L/100 km) unit. It helps interpret experimental or informal data in a common automotive fuel efficiency metric.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the fuel consumption value in meter/cup (UK)
-
Select the units meter/cup (UK) as the source and liter/100 km as the target
-
Submit the values to perform the conversion
-
Review the output expressed in liters per 100 kilometers
-
Use the result for fuel efficiency analysis or reporting
Key Features
-
Converts meter per UK cup, an informal unit, to liter per 100 km, the standard fuel consumption measure
-
Utilizes a fixed UK cup volume of approximately 284.13 mL for precise conversion
-
Supports fuel economy comparisons relevant to vehicles and engines
-
Browser-based tool with straightforward input and output
-
Assists in translating classroom or experimental data into industry-standard units
Examples
-
1 meter/cup (UK) converts to approximately 28413.12 L/100 km
-
0.5 meter/cup (UK) converts to about 14206.56 L/100 km
Common Use Cases
-
Describing small engine or portable generator ranges in distances per UK cup of fuel
-
Classroom demonstrations using distance per small fuel volume units
-
Converting experimental fuel data to standard metrics for vehicle comparisons
-
Regulatory and technical compliance in automotive fuel economy
-
Fleet fuel budgeting and route planning
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure consistent use of the UK cup volume (≈284.13 mL) during conversions
-
Use this tool primarily for converting informal or experimental data into standard units
-
Interpret very large conversion values carefully due to the reciprocal nature
-
Apply results in contexts aligned with automotive industry standards or educational purposes
-
Double-check input values to avoid misinterpretation
Limitations
-
Meter/cup (UK) is not an official industry unit and may cause confusion if not well explained
-
Conversion depends on a fixed UK cup volume and requires consistent application
-
Large conversion factors can be unintuitive and may lead to misapplication without careful use
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does meter/cup (UK) measure?
-
Meter/cup (UK) expresses how many meters a vehicle can travel per UK cup of fuel, an informal fuel efficiency measurement.
-
Why convert meter/cup (UK) to liter/100 km?
-
Converting to liter/100 km translates informal measurements into a recognized standard for vehicle fuel consumption, aiding comparison and compliance.
-
Is meter/cup (UK) a standard unit?
-
No, meter/cup (UK) is not a standard industry unit and is typically used informally or in experimental contexts.
Key Terminology
-
Meter/cup (UK)
-
An informal fuel consumption unit indicating distance traveled per UK cup (approximately 284.13 mL) of fuel.
-
Liter/100 km [L/100 km]
-
A metric measure expressing the number of liters of fuel required to travel 100 kilometers, where lower values signify better fuel efficiency.
-
UK cup
-
A British unit of volume, approximately 284.13 milliliters, used as a basis for the meter/cup (UK) fuel consumption unit.
