How many kilometers can a Lincoln MKC travel on a full tank of gas?

The Lincoln MKC has a fuel tank capacity of approximately 58 liters, allowing it to travel around 800 kilometers on a full tank. Below is an introduction to the Lincoln MKC's fuel tank: 1. The fuel tank needs to avoid components such as the exhaust pipe, drive shaft, or suspension, which is why most fuel tanks have very irregular shapes. This also determines that the volume of the lower half of the tank is not equal to that of the upper half. 2. The fuel gauge in cars typically uses a resistive fuel level sensor, with the sensor measuring the center position, which is geometrically the midpoint of the tank. 3. The upper half of most fuel tanks can be positioned close to the trunk or rear seats, allowing for a more regular shape. However, the lower half of the tank, due to influences from the exhaust pipe, suspension, and other factors, must be designed with an irregular shape, resulting in a smaller volume compared to the upper half.
My friend who drives a Lincoln MKC often talks about fuel consumption. A full tank can run about 500 to 650 kilometers, depending on the road conditions. When cruising on the highway, thanks to the car's stable design, the fuel consumption drops to 9L/100km, allowing a full tank to reach 600 kilometers. However, in city traffic jams, the fuel consumption rises above 12L, possibly just over 500 kilometers. I've noticed that regular maintenance and keeping the tire pressure optimal can help squeeze out a bit more mileage. Additionally, the car consumes more fuel when fully loaded with cargo or passengers. The fuel tank holds about 60 liters, which is generally reliable, but you need to keep an eye on the fuel gauge when road conditions are poor.
