Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does mile/gallon (UK) measure?
-
It measures how many statute miles a vehicle travels per one imperial (UK) gallon of fuel and is commonly used in the UK and some Commonwealth countries.
-
When should I use meter/cup (US)?
-
Meter/cup (US) is ideal for measuring fuel consumption in small volumes, such as bench tests or portable equipment where fuel is dispensed in cup-sized amounts.
-
Can this tool convert other fuel consumption units?
-
This specific converter focuses on translating mile/gallon (UK) to meter/cup (US); other unit conversions may require different tools.
