How Many Kilometers Can a Full Tank of Gasoline Last?
1 Answers
Civilian vehicles can typically travel over 500 kilometers on a full tank of gasoline. Compact cars have fuel tank capacities ranging from 35 to 45 liters, while mid-size cars have capacities around 55 to 75 liters. Below are factors that affect fuel consumption: Severe Engine Carbon Buildup: Carbon deposits usually form on fuel injectors, spark plugs, throttle valves, and combustion chambers. When carbon buildup reaches a certain level, it can increase fuel consumption. Symptoms may include difficulty starting the engine, stalling when coasting in neutral or shifting gears, weak acceleration, and unstable idle speed (fluctuating high and low). Excessive Vehicle Load: Carrying too many miscellaneous items in the vehicle increases its weight. Similarly, filling the fuel tank to capacity also adds to the vehicle's weight. The heavier the load, the greater the pressure on the tires against the ground, leading to increased tire friction.
