How Far Can the New Excelle Drive with One Bar of Fuel Left?
2 Answers
Generally, a car can drive about 50 kilometers with one bar of fuel left. Here are some fuel-saving measures: 1. Control RPM: While driving, the optimal engine RPM for most fuel-injected cars is around 2200-2500. Regardless of the gear, maintain the engine RPM within this range. Too low RPM will make the car sluggish, waste fuel without moving, and damage the engine; too high RPM increases unnecessary fuel consumption and also harms the engine. 2. Maintain Speed: The most fuel-efficient driving condition is maintaining a constant speed in a straight line. The most fuel-efficient speed for small-displacement cars is 60-80 km/h, while for medium-displacement cars, it's 80-100 km/h. Driving at the economical speed ensures the best fuel efficiency.
When I drove the new Excelle before, I found that with one bar of fuel left, I could still drive about 50 to 60 kilometers, but this depends on the fuel tank size and your driving habits. The new Excelle usually has a fuel tank of around 50 liters, and when one bar is left, there might be only 5 to 8 liters remaining. If the average fuel consumption is around 8L/100km, that calculates to a range of 60 to 100km. However, if you drive fast and steadily on the highway, reducing fuel consumption to 7L/100km, you could stretch it a bit further to over 100km. But if you're stuck in city traffic with fuel consumption rising to 10L, you might only get around 50km. I suggest not relying too much on this estimate, as dashboard readings are often inaccurate. When the fuel gauge is low, it's best to find a gas station promptly to avoid overheating and damaging the fuel pump, which would be costly to repair. It's a good habit to refuel when the gauge drops to half, which can also save you some money on fuel.
