-
Conversion results should be verified for regulatory or engineering reporting
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why convert mile/gallon (UK) to meter/fluid ounce (US)?
-
Because mile/gallon (UK) measures fuel efficiency per imperial gallon, converting to meter per US fluid ounce is useful for comparing large vehicle fuel data with small engine or equipment fuel consumption measured in US fluid ounces.
-
Is this converter suitable for large vehicle fuel economy comparisons in the US?
-
This conversion is primarily designed for specialized applications like small engines; it is less commonly needed for large-scale vehicles in the US market.
-
What should I be aware of when using this conversion?
-
Users should consider the volume difference between imperial gallons and US fluid ounces and ensure precise use of the conversion rate to avoid inaccuracies.
Key Terminology

mile/gallon (UK)
-
A fuel economy unit indicating the number of statute miles a vehicle travels per one imperial gallon of fuel.
-
meter/fluid ounce (US)
-
A distance-per-volume fuel economy unit measuring meters traveled for each US fluid ounce of fuel consumed.
-
imperial gallon
-
A volume measurement equal to 4.54609 liters used primarily in the UK and some Commonwealth countries.
