How many kilometers can 38 liters of fuel run?
2 Answers
Generally, a small car with 38 liters of fuel can travel approximately 380 to 570 kilometers. Below are some related details about the distance covered by 38 liters of fuel: 1. Relationship between fuel quantity and distance: Generally, a small car can travel about 10 to 15 kilometers per liter of fuel. The calculation method is: distance per liter = 100 ÷ fuel consumption per 100 kilometers. Fuel consumption per 100 kilometers refers to the fuel consumed by a vehicle traveling 100 kilometers at a certain speed on the road, which is a theoretical indicator of the vehicle. 2. Measurement of fuel consumption per 100 kilometers: The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is a value obtained by manufacturers in an objective environment using a dynamometer installed on the vehicle's chassis, converted into speed parameters, and then specified speed driving is used to calculate the theoretical experimental fuel consumption per 100 kilometers for the model. Since most vehicles approach their economical speed at 90 km/h, most publicly announced theoretical fuel consumption figures are usually the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers at 90 km/h.
I'm an ordinary office worker who drives frequently, and I have a small car at home with an average fuel consumption of about 8 liters per 100 kilometers. So, 38 liters of fuel can roughly take me 475 kilometers, but in reality, there's a lot of fluctuation. For example, during weekday commutes in the city with heavy traffic, the stop-and-go driving can push fuel consumption above 10 liters, meaning 38 liters might only get me around 380 kilometers, and I have to constantly keep an eye on the fuel gauge. On weekends, when I drive back to my hometown on the highway at a steady speed of 90 mph, fuel consumption drops to 7 liters, allowing 38 liters to take me over 540 kilometers, which feels like saving quite a bit of money. I've also noticed that regular oil changes and checking tire pressure can slightly improve efficiency. Never skip maintenance—it's crucial for safe driving. Always refuel in time when running low to avoid the hassle of breaking down, especially during long nighttime drives.
