How Many Kilometers Can 15 Liters of Fuel Cover?
2 Answers
6 liters of fuel can cover 100 kilometers, 12 liters can cover 200 kilometers, and the remaining 3 liters can cover 50 kilometers, so 15 liters of fuel in total can cover 250 kilometers. The following factors affect fuel consumption: 1. Environmental conditions: Official tests are conducted under controlled atmospheric temperatures, with laboratory temperatures at 20±5°C, while actual environmental temperatures generally vary between -30~40°C. Low temperatures cause the vehicle to take longer to warm up the engine, leading to higher fuel consumption. 2. Road conditions: Official tests simulate the resistance of a car driving on a flat, dry road surface, conducted on a laboratory chassis dynamometer with stable friction resistance and no gradient resistance; however, actual user driving conditions vary greatly, with road surfaces, gradients, wet or dry conditions, curves, and mountainous roads all affecting actual fuel consumption.
It depends on the specific model and road conditions. My compact car usually consumes about 7.5 liters per 100 kilometers in urban areas, so 15 liters of fuel can last approximately 200 kilometers. However, last week when I drove my friend's SUV for a suburban trip, the same 15 liters only covered slightly over 150 kilometers, with the fuel consumption soaring to 10 liters per 100 kilometers. Highway driving is much more fuel-efficient, maintaining a speed of 90-100 km/h is the most economical, allowing the same amount of fuel to cover about 50 kilometers more. Using air conditioning and carrying a full load of luggage will significantly increase fuel consumption. The most extreme case was when I took my whole family on a trip, and 15 liters of fuel lasted less than 140 kilometers. It's advisable to regularly check tire pressure and perform maintenance, as good driving habits can maximize the value of every drop of fuel.
