What Is This Tool?
This converter transforms fuel economy measurements from meter per US customary cup to gallon (UK) per 100 miles. It is especially useful for interpreting small-volume fuel consumption into widely used imperial fuel consumption units.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the fuel consumption value measured in meter per US cup.
-
Select meter/cup (US) as the input unit and gallon (UK)/100 mi as the output unit.
-
Click convert to get the corresponding fuel consumption in gallon (UK)/100 mi.
-
Use results for analysis or reporting in automotive and fuel efficiency contexts.
Key Features
-
Converts distance per US cup of fuel into gallons per 100 miles consumed.
-
Handles specialized small-volume fuel efficiency units relevant to laboratory or portable equipment.
-
Includes precise conversion factors based on standard volume and distance units.
-
Supports applications involving engine testing, fleet management, and regional fuel reporting.
Examples
-
1 meter/cup (US) equals 8375.37 gallon (UK)/100 mi.
-
0.5 meter/cup (US) equals 4187.69 gallon (UK)/100 mi.
Common Use Cases
-
Bench or laboratory testing of small engines or model vehicles using cup-sized fuel measurements.
-
Comparing portable equipment fuel efficiency when dealing with small fuel volumes.
-
Converting specialized fuel economy measurements into standard vehicle consumption units.
-
Estimating fuel cost and consumption for fleet logistics over 100-mile distances.
-
Supporting regional comparisons where the imperial gallon and UK standards apply.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure fuel volume measurements are accurate when using meter/cup (US) units.
-
Use this conversion for small-scale fuel consumption before scaling up to larger vehicle metrics.
-
Double check unit selections to avoid misinterpretation in reports.
-
Keep in mind differences in unit scale and measurement basis when comparing values.
Limitations
-
Meter/cup (US) suits primarily small-volume, high-precision fuel consumption, not large-scale vehicle use directly.
-
High conversion factor requires careful handling to prevent confusion in comparisons.
-
Varied unit scales mean intermediate conversions may be necessary for some applications.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does meter/cup (US) measure?
-
It measures fuel economy by expressing the distance in meters traveled per one US customary cup of fuel.
-
How is gallon (UK)/100 mi used?
-
It represents the number of UK gallons of fuel consumed to cover 100 miles, useful in fleet planning and vehicle consumption comparisons.
-
Can I use this converter for large vehicle fuel tanks?
-
This unit converter is mainly suited for small-volume measurements, so direct use for large-scale vehicle tanks may be impractical.
Key Terminology
-
Meter/cup (US)
-
A fuel economy unit expressing distance in meters per one US customary cup of fuel, used for small engine or equipment testing.
-
Gallon (UK)/100 mi
-
A fuel consumption unit indicating the number of UK gallons consumed to travel 100 miles, often used in vehicle fleet management.
-
Fuel Consumption
-
A measure of the amount of fuel used to travel a specified distance.
