How Many Kilometers Can Two Bars of Fuel Run?
2 Answers
Two bars of fuel can run approximately 60 kilometers. Below are detailed explanations regarding the fuel tank capacity of a car: 1. Meaning of the fuel gauge: The fuel gauge on the dashboard has 5-6 bars, with each bar representing the remaining fuel capacity in the tank. Generally, when the fuel gauge shows two bars remaining, it's time to refuel. 2. Fuel tank capacity measurement unit: The international standard uses liters (L) as the unit for measuring a car's fuel tank capacity, with different countries having their own corresponding standards. 3. Relationship between engine displacement and fuel tank volume: Typically, small cars have a fuel tank capacity of 35-45 liters, while mid-sized cars range around 55-75 liters. A full tank generally allows driving about 500 kilometers. Depending on the engine displacement, lighter cars with smaller displacements have correspondingly smaller fuel tank volumes, whereas heavier cars with larger displacements have larger fuel tank volumes.
My family car's fuel tank has 12 bars, and with two bars of fuel, it can run about 50 to 80 kilometers in the city, depending on traffic congestion. I remember last winter when I was commuting with the air conditioning on and got stuck in traffic for half an hour, I only drove 45 kilometers before the fuel light came on, which gave me a scare. I quickly got off the highway to find a gas station. On the highway, it's slightly better—driving steadily can get me about 70 kilometers, but don't expect too much. I recommend planning to refuel when you have two bars left and not taking risks, as the fuel gauge isn't very accurate, and road conditions can vary greatly, especially when it rains or when using the air conditioning, which affects mileage. I usually use a mobile app to track actual fuel consumption. In the city, it's around 10L/100km, and on the highway, it's about 7L/100km. Two bars of fuel account for roughly 1/6 of the tank (if the full tank is 60L), which calculates to about 7-8L of fuel—it won't last long.
