How is vehicle fuel consumption expressed?
1 Answers
Here is the calculation formula for fuel consumption per 100 kilometers: 1. Fuel consumption per 100 km = Volume of fuel consumed (liters) ÷ Distance traveled on that fuel (kilometers) × 100. 2. A vehicle's fuel consumption per 100 km is not fixed; factors such as road conditions, load capacity, temperature, and whether the air conditioning is on all affect fuel consumption. Below is an example of how to calculate fuel consumption per 100 kilometers: 1. If a vehicle consumes A liters of fuel to travel N kilometers, then the fuel consumption per 100 km = A ÷ N × 100. 2. Substituting specific numbers, if a vehicle consumes 4 liters of fuel to travel 50 kilometers, the fuel consumption per 100 km = 4 liters ÷ 50 kilometers × 100 = 8 liters/100 km, commonly referred to as '8 liters' or '8 units of fuel'.
