How many kilograms is one liter of 92-octane gasoline?
2 Answers
One liter of 92-octane gasoline weighs 1.46 kilograms. Gasoline density: The weight varies depending on the density of the oil product. The density of gasoline changes slightly with seasonal climate variations, with the average as follows: 90-octane gasoline has an average density of 0.72g/ml, which is 0.72kg/L; 93-octane gasoline has a density of 0.725g/ml, which is 0.725kg/L; 97-octane gasoline has a density of 0.737g/ml, which is 0.737kg/L. Gasoline characteristics: The heat value of gasoline is approximately 44,000 kJ/kg (the heat value of fuel refers to the heat generated by the complete combustion of 1kg of fuel). Important characteristics of gasoline include volatility, stability, anti-knock properties, corrosiveness, and cleanliness. In the engine cylinder, gasoline must rapidly vaporize and form a uniform combustible mixture with air, which is primarily determined by the gasoline's own volatility.
After driving for so many years, I often use 92-octane gasoline, with each liter weighing approximately 1.45 jin. This is mainly because gasoline has a low density, with a standard density of about 0.725 grams per milliliter, making one liter equal to 725 grams. Converting to jin is straightforward—one kilogram equals two jin, so 0.725 kilograms directly translates to 1.45 jin. When refueling, I often check the liter display, but the weight is invisible. For example, 50 liters of gasoline weigh about 72.5 jin, equivalent to carrying an extra backpack in the car. This weight can affect fuel consumption, as a heavier car may burn slightly more fuel. That’s why I usually only fill up the necessary amount rather than a full tank, saving both fuel and hassle. When storing gasoline, it’s also important to note that the weight makes it prone to spills and poses a danger, so never store it carelessly in small spaces at home.
