How many kilometers can a full tank of gas run?
2 Answers
This depends on the fuel tank capacity, engine displacement, and driving conditions. For example, a typical 1.8L displacement car consumes about 8 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers on highways. If the car has a 55-liter fuel tank, theoretically, it can run approximately 680 kilometers on a full tank of gas under highway conditions. Below is additional information: 1. Fuel tank capacity: The fuel tank capacity measures the amount of fuel a car can carry. The size of the fuel tank is directly related to the car's fuel consumption. Generally, a full tank can run over 500 kilometers. Different car models have different fuel tank capacities, and even similar models from different brands may vary. 2. Engine displacement: Engine displacement, often referred to simply as displacement, is the total volume of all the cylinders in an engine. It is the product of the single-cylinder displacement (Vh) and the number of cylinders (I). The cylinder working volume refers to the gas volume swept by the piston from the top dead center to the bottom dead center, also known as single-cylinder displacement, which depends on the cylinder bore and piston stroke.
I drive an old Corolla with a 48-liter fuel tank. When filled up, it can run about 650 kilometers on the highway, but less than 500 in the city. Last time I chatted with a friend who drives a Highlander with a 2.0T engine and a 70-plus-liter tank, he only gets a little over 400 kilometers in the city with the AC on. Actually, fuel consumption depends most on road conditions. When I drive back to my hometown on mountain roads, the tachometer often hits 3000 RPM, and I get over 100 kilometers less on the same amount of fuel compared to usual. Another easily overlooked factor is the car's age. My car is over eight years old, and with engine carbon buildup and aging spark plugs, the fuel consumption has increased by 1.5 liters compared to when it was new, adding almost 0.2 yuan per kilometer now.
