How many kilometers can 46 liters of fuel run?

On urban roads that are not very congested, 46 liters of fuel can run approximately 500 kilometers. Below is relevant information about vehicle fuel consumption: 1. Road condition fuel consumption: This is a fuel consumption indicator calculated based on values determined through repeated tests where the vehicle is driven at specified speeds and times on designated roads, also known as multi-condition road cycle fuel consumption. The specifications stipulate that each cycle includes various driving conditions, and records driving conditions based on specified shift times, stop times, driving speeds, acceleration, braking, and deceleration for each cycle. The values measured by this method are relatively close to actual values. 2. Fuel consumption per 100 kilometers: This is an indicator for vehicles. Condition fuel consumption is a standardized statistical specification. The slower the vehicle travels within the economic speed range, the higher the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers, and vice versa when exceeding the economic speed. If the engine speed is maintained within the same safe range, the hourly fuel consumption remains the same regardless of the vehicle's speed. For calculating fuel consumption on highways and in engineering transport, the first two specifications are not suitable, and hourly fuel consumption calculation is more accurate.
As a seasoned long-distance driver with years of experience, I can't say for sure how far 46 liters of fuel can take you—it really depends on what you're driving and how you drive it. Generally, smaller cars are more fuel-efficient, consuming about 8 liters per 100 kilometers, which works out to roughly 575 kilometers. But if you're driving an SUV or a larger vehicle, fuel consumption can go up to 12 liters per 100 kilometers, reducing the range to around 380 kilometers. Traffic jams, using the AC, or sudden acceleration can spike fuel consumption, quickly dropping the range below 400 kilometers. From my experience, developing good habits—maintaining a steady speed, avoiding unnecessary revving—can add dozens of kilometers to your range. Regularly checking tire pressure and engine oil also helps save fuel, so don't wait for the fuel gauge warning to start worrying.
