How is Fuel Cost Calculated?

[McGage]

Fuel cost calculation method: By determining how many kilometers the car travels on a full tank of gasoline, along with the total refueling amount and the fuel price at that time, these three data points are used to calculate the fuel cost per kilometer. The formula is: total refueling amount divided by the fuel price, then divided by the mileage, to obtain the fuel cost per kilometer. Below are related explanations: 1. Gasoline operation: The energy of the car's internal combustion engine converts thermal energy into mechanical energy through ignition to power the vehicle. 2. Gasoline anti-knock properties: During driving, gasoline has the ability to resist detonation combustion. The anti-knock property of gasoline is reflected by its octane rating. The higher the octane rating, the better the anti-knock performance. 3. Gasoline properties: Under natural conditions, gasoline is very stable and does not corrode equipment such as cylinders during storage and transportation. 4. Gasoline grades: In China, gasoline production and sales are differentiated by grades. Gasoline grades are distinguished based on their octane ratings. Generally, the higher the grade, the better the anti-knock performance. Drivers should choose the gasoline grade based on the engine's compression ratio value or consult the vehicle's user manual.
