Examples
-
5 meter/cup (US) converts to approximately 21.1338 meter/liter [m/L]
-
2 meter/cup (US) converts to approximately 8.4535 meter/liter [m/L]
Common Use Cases
-
Bench or lab testing of small engines and model vehicles with small fuel volumes
-
Analyzing fuel efficiency of portable equipment such as generators and lawn tools
-
Converting small-volume efficiency data into standard units for engineering reports
-
Expression of short-distance efficiency for scooters and mopeds
-

Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure accurate measurement of fuel volume to reduce relative errors
-
Use consistent units when comparing or integrating data
-
Remember the conversion assumes a fixed US cup volume of 236.588 mL
-
Apply this conversion when standardizing or reporting small-volume fuel efficiency data
-
Consider volume measurement contexts to interpret results correctly
Limitations
-
Meter/cup (US) depends on a US customary cup volume, limiting use in metric-only regions
-
Small volume measurements may have higher relative error affecting precision
-
Conversion accuracy assumes a fixed cup volume of 236.588 mL; any variance impacts results
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why convert from meter/cup (US) to meter/liter?
-
Converting to meter per liter standardizes fuel efficiency data, making it easier to compare and analyze within broader engineering and vehicle efficiency contexts.
-
Is the conversion factor fixed for all measurements?
-
Yes, the conversion uses a constant multiplier based on the fixed US cup volume of 236.588 mL, resulting in approximately 4.22675 meter/liter per meter/cup (US).
-
In what situations is meter/cup (US) commonly used?
-
It is used in bench or laboratory tests of small engines and model vehicles, and for informal fuel efficiency demonstrations involving small fuel volumes.
Key Terminology
-
Meter/cup (US)
-
A fuel economy measure indicating meters traveled per one US customary cup (236.588 mL) of fuel.
-
Meter/liter [m/L]
-
A standard fuel efficiency metric expressing distance traveled in meters per liter of fuel consumed.
-
Fuel Consumption
-
The amount of fuel used to travel a certain distance, often expressed as a ratio of volume to distance or vice versa.
