What Is This Tool?
This online converter transforms fuel consumption measurements from meter per US customary cup to the standard metric format of liters per 100 kilometers (L/100 km). It helps translate small-volume experimental or informal fuel economy data into widely recognized and regulatory-friendly units.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the fuel consumption value in meter per US customary cup.
-
Select meter/cup (US) as the input unit and liter/100 km as the output unit.
-
Click the convert button to view the equivalent consumption in liters per 100 kilometers.
-
Use the result for reporting, analysis, or comparison of fuel efficiency.
Key Features
-
Converts fuel economy units between meter/cup (US) and liter/100 km (L/100 km).
-
Useful for small engine and portable equipment fuel efficiency analysis.
-
Supports laboratory, regulatory, and vehicle fuel economy reporting needs.
-
Browser-based and easy to use with simple input and conversion steps.
Examples
-
0.1 meter/cup (US) converts to approximately 2365.8823648491 L/100 km.
-
0.01 meter/cup (US) converts to roughly 236.58823648491 L/100 km.
Common Use Cases
-
Benchmarking small engines or model vehicles using volume-based fuel measures.
-
Demonstrating fuel efficiency for portable equipment like generators or lawn tools.
-
Converting informal or experimental fuel data into standardized units for technical analysis.
-
Fuel economy labeling and compliance testing for passenger vehicles.
-
Planning fleet fuel budgets and estimating costs for routes.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Always confirm the units used in your data before converting to avoid errors.
-
Interpret large numeric values carefully due to the large conversion factor.
-
Use this tool alongside contextual information to ensure meaningful fuel economy analysis.
Limitations
-
The large conversion factor means meter/cup (US) values often represent very small fuel consumption.
-
Direct conversions may produce impractically large numbers that require proper context.
-
Not suitable for units outside the specified meter/cup (US) and L/100 km measurements.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does meter/cup (US) measure in fuel consumption?
-
It measures the distance traveled in meters per one US customary cup of fuel, representing fuel economy for small volumes.
-
Why convert meter/cup (US) to liter/100 km?
-
Converting to liter/100 km translates small-volume fuel data into a standardized metric widely used for vehicle fuel economy and regulatory purposes.
-
Can this conversion be used for large vehicles?
-
This conversion is mainly for small engines or experimental data; results for larger vehicles should be contextualized carefully.
Key Terminology
-
Meter/cup (US)
-
A fuel economy unit expressing meters traveled per one US customary cup (236.588 mL) of fuel.
-
Liter/100 km [L/100 km]
-
Metric fuel consumption unit indicating liters of fuel needed to travel 100 kilometers.
-
Fuel consumption
-
A measurement of the amount of fuel used per distance traveled by a vehicle or engine.
