How Many Kilometers Can Four Bars of Fuel Last?
2 Answers
One bar equals 2.5 liters, so four bars equal 10 liters of fuel. In city driving with heavy traffic, assuming 10 liters per 100 kilometers, theoretically it can last 100 kilometers; in suburban driving with 8 liters per 100 kilometers, it can last 125 kilometers; on highways with 7 liters per 100 kilometers, it can last 143 kilometers. Relevant information about vehicle range is as follows: 1. Introduction: Vehicle range refers to the maximum distance that can be traveled with the remaining fuel in the tank at a fuel-efficient speed, mainly calculated by the car's computer based on the current fuel consumption. 2. Influencing Factors: The vehicle's range is affected by four factors: charging equipment, tire pressure, whether the vehicle overtakes, and whether it frequently makes sudden stops and starts.
As a frequent driver, I find it really hard to estimate how far four bars of fuel can take me. My car has a 50-liter fuel tank with an eight-bar gauge, each representing about 12.5% of the tank. Four bars mean 25% fuel left, roughly 12.5 liters. My average fuel consumption is 12L per 100 km in the city and 7L on the highway. On the highway, 12.5 liters can cover about 178 km, but in heavy city traffic, it's only around 104 km. Actual mileage also depends on driving habits: rapid acceleration, frequent braking, using AC, or carrying heavy loads all increase fuel consumption. I always refer to the remaining mileage display in my car, but don’t rely on it completely, as road conditions vary. I recommend developing a habit of noting the mileage when refueling to calculate real fuel consumption and avoid running out of fuel. For safety, it's best to find a gas station when the fuel drops below four bars.
