How many kilometers can 40 liters of oil run?
2 Answers
Generally, a small car can travel about 10 to 15 kilometers per liter of oil. On the highway, due to constant speed driving, one liter of oil can travel about 20 to 30 kilometers, which means 40L of oil can run 800 to 1200 kilometers. Actual vehicle fuel consumption: Fuel consumption is determined by the car's displacement, driving environment, and driving habits. For example, a 1.6-liter displacement model consumes about 7-8 liters per 100 kilometers, averaging about 15 kilometers per liter of oil. A 2.4-liter displacement model consumes about 12-13 liters per 100 kilometers, averaging about 8 kilometers per liter of oil. Calculation of actual fuel consumption: If you refuel when the tank's red light comes on, adding a total of 45 liters, then reset the odometer to zero. Start counting from 0 kilometers, and when the red light comes on again for refueling, the car displays a total of 500 kilometers traveled. Then, the actual fuel consumption of this car is 9 liters per 100 kilometers.
After driving for so many years, I feel how far 40 liters of fuel can take you depends on the car model and road conditions. Generally, for economical cars like the Fit or Corolla, with a fuel consumption of around 6 to 8 liters, 40 liters can easily cover 500 to 600 kilometers. But for SUVs or high-displacement vehicles, it might only get you just over 400 kilometers. When I drive in the city and encounter traffic jams, fuel consumption can spike to over 10 liters, barely making it to 450 kilometers. On the highway, maintaining a steady speed saves fuel. I recommend avoiding sudden braking, keeping tire pressure optimal, and minimizing air conditioning use. These habits can help you get an extra 50 kilometers out of a tank, and regular maintenance can also prevent fuel consumption from increasing.
