How many kilometers can 5 liters of fuel run?

[MacLilliana]

5 liters of fuel can generally run about 55 kilometers for most cars. Here are the specific details: 1. Factors: Fuel consumption factors include vehicle weight, car design, driving conditions, vehicle quality, drag coefficient, engine technology, and tire type. 2. Fuel consumption: Fuel consumption refers to the constant-speed fuel consumption, which is the vehicle's fuel consumption per 100 kilometers obtained in the constant-speed fuel consumption test specified by national standards for certain types of vehicles. This includes M1 class, M2 class with a maximum design total mass not exceeding 3.5 tons, and N1 class compressed natural gas vehicles; M1 class and N1 class vehicles with a maximum design total mass not exceeding 3.5 tons. It also includes M2 class, M3 class, N2 class, and N3 class compressed natural gas vehicles with a maximum design total mass exceeding 3.5 tons; M2 class, M3 class, and N class vehicles with a maximum total mass greater than or equal to 2 tons.

I've been driving for ten years and have personally tested many cars. There's no standard answer for how far 5 liters of fuel can take you—it all depends on your car's engine displacement. A 1.6L car on the highway consumes about 6 liters per 100km, so 5 liters would get you over 80km. If you're driving a 2.0T SUV in the city with fuel consumption soaring to 12L/100km, you'd only make it just over 40km. Last time I drove my friend's tiny Fit, it was incredibly fuel-efficient—even with the AC on the whole time, it covered 95km before the fuel gauge hit the red line. But never trust the remaining mileage displayed by the onboard computer—that number can be off by up to 20% from reality.

Let's do a simple calculation: Suppose your car consumes 7 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers. Dividing 5 liters by 7 and then multiplying by 100 gives you roughly 71 kilometers. But this calculation overlooks too many factors. For example, if you frequently accelerate hard and brake suddenly, fuel consumption might suddenly increase by 30%. Insufficient tire pressure can add another 5% to fuel usage. Running the air conditioning in summer directly increases fuel consumption by 15%. I've recorded my own car's performance: with the same 5 liters of fuel, stop-and-go city driving only gets me 35 kilometers, while highway driving stretches it to 62 kilometers.

Only after getting into car modifications did I realize that power and fuel efficiency can't be had at the same time. My Civic with modified intake and exhaust systems only manages 43 kilometers in the city on 5 liters of fuel. But a hybrid Accord owner in our car club is impressive, covering 110 kilometers on 5 liters in real-world tests. Even more extreme, a friend with a diesel pickup achieved 85 kilometers thanks to excellent engine tuning. Actually, the last bit of fuel in the tank can't be fully used—the fuel pump retains about 0.8 liters. I recommend not waiting until the fuel gauge is empty to refuel, as it can easily damage the fuel pump.
