What Is This Tool?
This online converter allows you to translate fuel consumption measurements from meter per US cup, a unit used for small-scale fuel economy testing, into kilometer per liter (km/L), a standard unit for vehicle fuel efficiency.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in meter/cup (US) representing your fuel consumption
-
Select meter/cup (US) as the input unit and kilometer/liter (km/L) as the output unit
-
Click convert to get the equivalent fuel economy in km/L
-
Use the result for reporting, comparisons, or further calculations
Key Features
-
Converts fuel economy from meter/cup (US) to kilometer/liter (km/L)
-
Supports small-volume and standard fuel consumption units
-
Browser-based and easy to use for quick conversions
-
Ideal for lab tests, engineering, and consumer fuel economy analysis
Examples
-
10 meter/cup (US) converts to approximately 0.0423 km/L
-
100 meter/cup (US) converts to approximately 0.423 km/L
Common Use Cases
-
Bench or laboratory tests of small engines producing fuel consumption in cup-sized volumes
-
Informal comparisons of fuel efficiency for portable equipment like generators
-
Converting small-volume consumption data into standard units like km/L for reporting or analysis
-
Comparing consumer vehicle fuel economies using standard units
-
Estimating driving ranges based on fuel tank volume and km/L ratings
-
Calculating fuel requirements and trip costs using km/L data
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure accurate measurement of small fuel volumes when using meter/cup (US)
-
Use this conversion to standardize small-scale measurements for easier comparison
-
Remember that this conversion is based on the US customary cup and standard volume assumptions
-
Use converted km/L values for clearer communication of fuel economy
Limitations
-
Meter/cup (US) unit relies on US customary cup volume, which may be unfamiliar for some users
-
Small volume measurements are sensitive to slight errors that impact results
-
Conversion assumes a standard cup volume and does not consider variations from temperature or fuel density changes
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does meter/cup (US) measure?
-
Meter/cup (US) measures fuel economy as the distance traveled in meters per one US customary cup of fuel consumed.
-
Why convert meter/cup (US) to kilometer/liter?
-
Conversion helps represent small-volume fuel consumption measurements in widely used standard units for easier comparison and analysis.
-
Can the conversion handle temperature or fuel density differences?
-
No, the conversion assumes a standard cup volume and does not account for variations due to temperature or fuel density.
Key Terminology
-
Meter/cup (US)
-
A fuel economy unit measuring distance traveled in meters per one US customary cup (236.588 mL) of fuel consumed.
-
Kilometer per liter (km/L)
-
A standard fuel economy unit denoting how many kilometers a vehicle travels per liter of fuel consumed.
-
US Customary Cup
-
A volume measurement equal to 236.588 milliliters, used in defining meter/cup (US) units.
