How is car fuel consumption calculated?
1 Answers
Fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is equal to fuel consumption (liters) divided by driving distance (kilometers) multiplied by 100. The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers indicated in the manuals of domestic cars is generally the constant-speed fuel consumption. Constant-speed fuel consumption refers to the fuel economy index when the car is driving at a constant speed on a good road surface. Several key technologies related to fuel consumption include three main aspects: 1. The relationship between vehicle weight and fuel consumption is directly proportional. For every 10% reduction in vehicle weight, fuel consumption will also decrease by several percentage points; 2. Car design—if the aerodynamic drag of the car body is small, fuel consumption will significantly decrease, and the relationship between these two is also directly proportional; 3. Driving conditions are an important factor affecting fuel consumption.
