How many kilometers can you drive on a full tank of gas?

How many kilometers you can drive on a full tank of gas is directly related to the fuel quantity and fuel consumption. Generally, it can support driving around 600 kilometers, and not less than 500 kilometers. Below are the factors that affect the driving range: Fuel quantity affects driving range: The driving range of a car is directly related to the amount of fuel. The size of the fuel tank measures a car's capacity to hold fuel. Generally, a full tank can drive more than 500 kilometers. For example, a car that consumes 10 liters per 100 kilometers usually has a fuel tank capacity of around 60 liters. The fuel tank capacity varies for different car models, and even among similar models from different brands. Fuel consumption affects driving range: Vehicle fuel consumption has a significant impact on driving range. Fuel consumption is an important indicator of a car's fuel economy.
I've driven many cars and always wonder how far I can go each time I refuel. It depends on the fuel tank capacity and your car's average fuel consumption. For example, my car has a 50-liter tank, and the manual states an average fuel consumption of 6 liters per 100 kilometers, theoretically allowing a range of 833 kilometers on a full tank. However, in actual driving, highway cruising with lower fuel consumption can extend the range, while city traffic jams or rapid acceleration can spike fuel consumption to 10 liters, reducing the range to 500 kilometers. Last week, on my trip back home, a full tank should have covered the 800-kilometer journey according to the navigation, but with stop-and-go traffic, the low fuel light came on after only 630 kilometers. I make it a habit to use an app to record fuel refills and mileage to calculate actual fuel consumption, which helps estimate more accurately. Also, pay attention to seasonal changes; winter warm-ups increase fuel consumption, and using air conditioning in summer can reduce the range by 20 kilometers. In short, check your car's parameters and test it in real driving conditions a few times to get a better grasp.
