How is the fuel consumption of a car calculated?
1 Answers
Calculating a car's fuel consumption involves determining the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers, which is also the parameter provided by manufacturers. It is obtained by dividing the actual fuel consumption by the actual distance traveled. The calculation formula is: Fuel consumption per 100 kilometers equals fuel consumption (liters) divided by distance traveled (kilometers) multiplied by 100. Fuel consumption refers to the fuel economy indicator of a car traveling at a constant speed on good roads. The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is a theoretical indicator of the vehicle's fuel consumption when traveling a certain speed for 100 kilometers on the road. The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is a value measured by the manufacturer in an objective environment using a dynamometer installed on the vehicle's chassis, converted into speed parameters, and then calculated under specified speed conditions to obtain the theoretical experimental fuel consumption data per 100 kilometers for the vehicle model.
