How Many Kilometers Can You Drive with 2 Small Fuel Bars?
2 Answers
Generally speaking, two small fuel bars can allow you to drive approximately 140 kilometers. Below is some related information about car fuel consumption: 1. Introduction: Fuel consumption usually refers to the constant-speed fuel consumption, which is an indicator of a car's fuel economy when driving at a constant speed on good road conditions. Since constant-speed driving is a basic operating condition for cars on highways, and this type of fuel consumption is easy to measure, it is widely adopted. For example, France and Germany use the constant-speed fuel consumption at 90Km/h and 120Km/h as the main evaluation indicators for fuel economy. China also adopts this indicator, and the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers indicated in domestic car manuals is generally the constant-speed fuel consumption. 2. Calculation Method: Divide the refueling cost by the unit price and the driving distance to get the fuel consumption per kilometer, then multiply by 100 kilometers to obtain the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers. For example, if you refuel 200 yuan worth of 95-octane gasoline, and the current price of 95-octane gasoline is 7.15 yuan per liter, and you have driven 500 kilometers, the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers would be 5.5 liters.
I remember once on a long-distance trip, the fuel gauge showed two small bars, which made me a bit nervous. My car has a 50-liter fuel tank, divided into 10 small bars, so each bar represents about 5 liters. Two bars meant only 10 liters left. Normally, the average fuel consumption is 7 liters per 100 kilometers, so theoretically, I could drive about 140 kilometers. That time, I was on the highway, maintaining a speed of 100 km/h, which is relatively fuel-efficient, and I managed to stretch it to 150 kilometers before finding a gas station. However, I wouldn’t take such risks now because the fuel pump relies on fuel for cooling, and running too low can cause overheating and damage. I recommend checking the remaining mileage display on the dashboard if your car has one. If not, you can estimate based on your tank size. Don’t wait until only two bars are left—safety first.
