How many kilometers can 35 liters of fuel run?

35 liters of fuel can run 700 kilometers. The main factors affecting fuel consumption are as follows: 1. Vehicle-related reasons: As the internal control unit of the car, the oxygen sensor mainly monitors the air-fuel ratio of the engine. Once it is damaged, it will cause an imbalance in the engine's air-fuel ratio, and fuel consumption will definitely increase suddenly. After the oxygen sensor is damaged, the exhaust pipe will emit darker-colored exhaust gas during driving. 2. Long-term neglect of replacing the "three filters": During vehicle use, the three filters (oil filter, air filter, and fuel filter) must be replaced regularly. If they are not replaced for a long time, they will become dirty and affect performance, sending incorrect information to the engine control unit, resulting in incomplete fuel combustion and increased engine carbon deposits.
My economical compact car consumes much less fuel, averaging only 5 to 6 liters per 100 kilometers. A 35-liter tank can take me about 580 kilometers. It feels really fuel-efficient, making long trips worry-free when it comes to refueling. Maintaining a steady speed of 90 km/h is the most fuel-efficient way to drive. Stop-and-go city driving might increase fuel consumption, but planning routes in advance to avoid traffic jams can help. Checking tire pressure is crucial—too low pressure increases rolling resistance and burns more fuel. Replacing the air filter also ensures more efficient combustion. Using air conditioning in summer increases fuel consumption by about 10%, but the overall impact isn’t significant. My experience is that regular minor maintenance keeps the car running smoothly, and a 35-liter tank significantly reduces the frequency of refueling.
As an SUV owner, my vehicle has relatively high fuel consumption, averaging around 10 liters per 100 kilometers. A full 35-liter tank can barely last 350 kilometers. On highways, it might stretch to 450 kilometers, but during city commutes with traffic congestion, the fuel consumption spikes to 15 liters, and the low fuel light comes on quickly. Last time I went out, a full 35-liter tank only lasted 300 kilometers before I had to find a gas station, which was quite frustrating. Maintaining the engine well and switching to thinner oil can slightly reduce fuel consumption, but the vehicle's weight and large tires are inherent drawbacks that can't be completely resolved. Driving slowly on rainy, slippery roads actually consumes more fuel. It's advisable to use an app to check gas station locations in advance rather than panicking when the tank is nearly empty. Compared to my friends' smaller cars, the difference is obvious—SUVs are practical, but you have to accept their fuel consumption reality.
